On getting old...

Maya and I were having a conversation about what 'old' and 'older' mean. I explained that the longer it is since you were born, the older you are.

Maya: "I don't want to get older"
Me: "Why not? What do you think happens when you get older?"
Maya: "I don't know - what does happen when you get older?"
Daddy interjects "You get wiser!"
Me: "That's right - you learn more and more things and it's fun to learn new things"

Maya: "I think I'll just learn one thing and then I won't get older"
