100 Years Old

Kindergarten celebrates the 100th day of school by asking students to dress up as a person who is 100 years old.  Here is my conversation with J. It is printed with permission from Grandpa.

Mom: What do you think you should wear?
J: Well, Grandpa W is like 36 years old.  Maybe I should dress like him.  Its not 100, but he looks older.
Mom: (cough, giggle) Okay. What does Grandpa wear?
J: He wears khaki pants.  He also wears those shirts with lines and squares He tucks his shirt into his pants.
Mom:  You mean a plaid shirt?
J: Yea.  And his hair is gray. 


As a disclaimer, J also wanted to wear glasses and pens in his pocket but one of his siblings broke the Harry Potter glasses we would've used.  He added the blazer because it was freezing.  In the end, we are pleased with the result. He definately looks older.  
Goodness, though, if he thinks 36 is old, what will he do when his parents turn 37 next year?
