Apparently I'm thisclose to old, really, old

12 called me this morning while I was driving to work. She said “mom, did Michael Jackson die yesterday from a heart attack?”

I said yes.

She said “oh, I feel a little sad.”

I said she wasn’t alone, lots of people were sad.

She said “wasn’t he only like, 30?”

I said no, he was 50.

She said “oh, well, 50. That makes more sense.”

*rolls eyes*

I said, “uh, sweetie, I’ll be 50 in like, 8 years.”

She said “oh, mom! I didn’t, well, I mean, um, yeah, okay, well love you mom. Bye!”
