What Are Age Spots
What are age spots? The children ask me.
I show them mine.
They are amazed, oohing and ahhing.
We used to call them freckles, I tell them. But now they are age spots.
They are six and seven.
I wonder if they will remember this when they turn my age.
I am spotted like a giraffe I say.
They giggle.
Perhaps they will remember this.
