I adore that, William; it's exactly what I'm attempting to teach my grandchildren, to be equal regardless of age. Deepest regards

Being young-looking, strangers passing have looks of surprise when my grandkids/great-grandkids, call me gramps, grandpa, great-grandpa, and so on. Our family clown, who is my second oldest son told them to call me, "Gps", pronounced as, "Jeeps". GPS is also a locater that helps people find places easier. Sorry for being wordy, Darlene, blessings from Gps, Aloha!
