Innocent - but tough - questions sometimes come from children...
Grandma, do you LIKE having wrinkles? my 8-year-old granddaughter recently asked, as we both were standing in front of a mirror...
(What to say? I don't want her to fear getting old...)
I don't mind them, as long as they're "happy" wrinkles that make my face look happy. I don't like wrinkles that make me look sad or angry, I finally replied.
(There was a long pause...)
Grandma, did you have wrinkles when you were my age?
I don't think so... Maybe a few...
(Maybe I should look for a few pictures of me, when I was her age, just to check!)
