The Turtle & the Hare (A Conversation with Emma)

Emma: "Mommy, how old are you?"
Me: "33."
E: "Am I older than you?"
M: "No. No matter how old you get you'll never be older than me."
E: "And you'll never be faster than me."
M: "Why is that?"
E: "Because the older you get, the slower you get. And you are old."
