This happened several years ago when I used to work for Target. I worked in the Fitting Rooms and thusly got the chance to interact with some of the customers a little more than your average worker. I was about 24 with this exchange happened.
A little girl, around the age of 5 I'm guessing, was shopping with her Momma. I don't know how but I got to talking with the two of them and the subject of age came up. The little girl wanted to know how old I was. I told her I was 24.
"Wow! You're older than the dinosaurs!" I laughed, while Mom looked horrified.
"So if I'm older than the dinosaurs how old is your mommy?"
The little girl thought for a moment then proudly announced. "She's older than dirt!"
Both the mother and I cracked up so hard. I think I actually might have cried a bit. Gotta love kids and their notions of what constitutes old.
