kid talk about getting old

I sometimes take my son to work and he would talk to some of the patients in the nursing home, he knows what a walker, cane or wheelchair looks like and what is it for. One night, we had this conversation…

son: mom, i dont want you to get old…

i: why do u say that?

son: i dont want you to have so many pain and i dont want you to be having a hard time walking…

i: but everybody gets old…

son: i know i know but i dont want to see you with pain walking…

i: that is part of life, we get old..people who dont get old, die young…

son: oh, i dont want that…i guess its ok if you get old, i will take care of u and dad…baby and i will…😊
