The fact that my kids keep desperately telling me I’m not old and I’m never going to die does not contribute to reality.

They only say that because THEY don't want to be the front line. };^)

You are absolutely right. They're 18 and 24 (very close to 19 and 25) and they don't want to have to be The Adult and not have anybody to ask for help. I know the feeling--I wish my own parents were still alive to get help from!
