We were watching television when we observed a woman of eighty years who was still mowing her own lawn.

“I won’t. Because I won’t be here!”. I assured her.

“How old will you be when I’m eighty?”. She surprisingly queried.

“Eighty-eight. Out of the gate before eighty-eight!”. I replied.

“I should never have opened it, in the first place!”. She retorted, with a wry smile.
