In the Year of Our Lord 1066

One evening, while reading to Levi from a Mac B Spy book, we came to discuss what can happen in just 45 years.

 The following conversation ensued:


Levi:  How old will I be in 46 years?


Me:  54.


Levi:  How old will yOu be?


Me:  (Tactless as always) I won’t be here then.  I’ll be gone.  


Levi:  (Falling back onto his pillows)  I have tears in my eyes.  Really!


Me:  Well, if I do make it, I’ll be 97.


Levi:  (Popping up quickly, excitedly) You’re the best grandma in the world, so you’ll be a billionaire by then!


The Universe:  Nope.  No one’s paying billions for that.


Me:  But I’ll be pretty frail by then.


Levi:  (Considering) You may be in a wheelchair.


Me:  (Watching him closely) Will you push me around?


Levi:  Nah.  I’ll just getcha a feeding tube.
