I’d tell them, “Oh, really? Do you know how you get old? You just keep living one day at a time. The days keep accumulating until you have X number of years of them. The only way to avoid getting old is to stop living those days at some point and I decided not to do that but to keep on living them one day at a time. I don’t think I was wrong about that.”
That’s a good way to spoil your Christmas! I accidentally found all my gifts the Christmas I was 10 years old and on Christmas morning I kept hoping to open something I’d missed but no… They were great gifts but no surprises. Don’t do that to yourself Elliot.
You’re kidding, right?
