What’ the worst thing about being old?

Not being able to do things when you are young

Like uh you can’t bend down and get stuff on the floor.

Well I can still do that, but the problem is your body gets a bit stiff.

I know it hurts a lot when you try to bend down.

Yeah that’s right you might get sick more often. Hopefully I don’t. But that’s the problem.

That’ pretty bad.

Yeah it’s pretty bad.

The only time I went to the hospital was my mom didn’t like getting me born.

Ah yeah do you wish you were older?

Maybe…like, so if I were old, I could by stuff for my own, and be married, but that would be eew.

Do you wish you were young? Why?

Well, uh the problem about uh the great thing about being young is you have more time to do things.  I could play games.
