Conversations on the Couch: About The Aging Process

I am cozied up next to The Banana on the futon, a pile of picture books in my lap.  We’re snuggled under a fuzzy blanket.

Me:  When you get to be a Mama like me and I’m a grandma, are you going to let me read books to your kids?

The Banana:  Hmmmm.  Maybe.

Me:  I really like reading books to kids.

The Banana:  Well, I might let you read to them sometimes, but I’m not sure if they will like it very much.

Me:  Well, why wouldn’t they like it?

The Banana:  Well, by that time you are going to be very, very old and wrinkly and your voice is going to sound really weird.
