Aging in the Eyes of Children

Everything is a little more humorous through the eyes of an innocent child.  I found this article posted in Canada’s Chilliwack Times Online yesterday and got such a laugh.  Some elementary school age children were asked what life would be like if they were 100 years old.  So take a few minutes out of your day for a good laugh!  Below are just a few-ENJOY!!

“When I’m 100 years old, I will still have my video games, a small  car and go  out for dinner. I will not be able to ride a bike,  skateboard or scooter or  have a radio. I’ll name my kids Bob and  Harry and have a house with four rooms.  I’ll wake up at 1:20 in the  morning and go to bed at 7:30, and get breakfast at  1:30.”

Jett Thomas, Grade 3

“If I lasted to 100 years old, I would have a cane and a pair of  glasses too.  I would have grayish hair and I would barely even be  able to walk.”

Cole Mayes, Grade 2

“When I’m 100 years old I will watch lots of football. I will not be  able to  jump or play Wii. My back will hurt a lot. I will get my  robot servant to buy  and get me food. I will eat a lot. It will be  fun. I will make a book company  called Orange Inc. I also want to be  an astronaut. I will have a pet turtle and  I’ll keep my pet Wags. It  will be a lot of fun.”

Landon Johnston, Grade 2

“If I was 100 years old, I would quit dancing. I would have a dog. I  would  have a cane maybe. I would take walks and I would have sleeps  and maybe, just  maybe, I will have glasses, and my hair will turn  gray. And I might eat  tuna–yuck!”

Jordyn Zutter, Grade 3
