Hell, kids today don't even know how to tell time on an analog WATCH! My 6-yr old grandson got a wristwatch-phone for his birthday. He called me on it and said, "Granddad, you can't get one of these."
"Why's that?" I asked.
"'Cause you got OLD FAT fingers, and you NEED small ones for this!"
How right he is! (Heh-heh!)
You might remind him about genetics and how age works. Tell him to enjoy it while he can. Of course, by the time his fingers get too big, computer phones will be wearable in your ear and will read your mind.
You're right... What's the point of spoiling it for him? (I'll let HIS g'kids do THAT!)
Hahaha, isn't that what grand kids are for?
They say the child is the father of the man. I suppose the child-of-the-child reminds him how REALLY old he's become!
Grand kids wouldn't exist without Grand parents, and Grand parents wouldn't need to exist without Grand kids. The best possible outcome that Grand kids can really hope for is to get old, if they're lucky.
"Grand kids can really hope for is to get old, if they're lucky."
Regrettably, I know some old folks who'd disagree with that. Too bad for them. Life is a daily gift - especially if you have kids or pets to keep you young at heart.
I think most people who do not appreciate every breath, have not been properly challenged in life. The most mundane life is filled with more astonishingly amazing experiences than all of fiction put together. All that is needed is the perspective to see it.
