I'm an ANTIQUE?!

Today, while driving with my children, we stopped at a traffic light. In front of us was an old Ford truck. although it had been modified, the truck bed was certainly an older one attached to a newer cab. At any rate, my 11 year old was astute enough to note that it was "probably and antique."

"What's an antique?" asked my 7 year old.
"When it comes to cars and trucks, if it's 25 years old, or older, then it's an antique."

There was this long pause and then my 7 year old says,

"So, you're an antique?"

My answer was kind, "I guess I am, sort of." But I've thought a lot about that conversation since.
