While setting up for field day very early one morning, a first grade student came to me and asked if he could help. I accepted his offer and loaded him up with equipment. As we walked to the field, he asked me my age. I replied "I'm 48" and listened as he yelled "Whoa!" Then he stopped walking, turned to me, and in a very somber tone said "you must feel very blessed that you are still alive at your age."
