What a self esteem boost

"Hey mommy, your chin is starting to drop down like great-grandma's," said Devin.

"Oh, really?" I said, touching my drooping chin.

"Yup! Did you see how low great-grandma's was?" asked Devin.

"Yeah," I said.

"Is yours is going to be like that too?" she asked.

"Maybe, sometimes that happens when you get older," I said. "Do you know how old great-grandma is?"

"Um, 16," said Devin.

"Is that old," I asked.

"Super old!" Devin said.

"Great-grandma is 89 years old," I said.

"Wow!"

Great, I'm getting a turkey neck at 32 years old. Which must be crazy ancient since Devin thinks 16 is super old.

I guess I should be thankful she didn't mention the drooping chin to great-grandma...
