"Are we going to make smores tonight, grandpa?"
"Maybe. We'll have to wait and see. Not if it's pouring rain."
"I want to make smores tonight."
"Even if it's pouring rain?"
"Yes, even if it's pouring rain!"
"I suppose that's because you're seven."
From time to time, in casual conversation, it comes up; if you could be any age, what would you choose?
I've picked 16 or 21, or even 29 but now that I've been granted a review of childhood through the time spent with my grandchildren I choose 7. If I could be any age, I think seven is better than any age I've lived so far.
