Old redefined...

Last night we were playing games together as a family. One of the games, Apples to Apples (jr.), is all about finding the best, or funniest, fit for a definition. Each player takes turns being the judge who reads the definition and the other players submit their choices from the word cards they have.

The best match of the night was from Ammon who, when trying to find a great word choice for the definition, "old", submitted "dead fish." We asked him, "How is that a match?" With his infinite six-year-old wisdom, he said, "You can't get older than dead." So, there you have it, dead is the new definition of old.

From here on out, I won't be old until I'm dead. Pretty good for someone who wants to be 29 for the next 60 years.
