A Look Into The Future

The other night Caroline said to me, "Mom, you're already a grown-up. So, when I'm a grown-up will you be really old?" Before I could come up with a reasonable answer, she said, "Here, I'll show you a picture."

Then she produced the last page of The Giving Tree where the rather withered old man is resting on the stump of the tree.

I'm still trying not to be offended.
