I blessed the new house of an 87-year-old woman yesterday and, afterwards, I let slip some remark about feeling old. She quickly corrected me, being very much my senior, and called me "kiddo" to drive home her point. It is about perspective, eh?



Maybe. But it is also about consideration of those to whom you are speaking.

And maybe it is none of my business but why would a 87-year-old woman want to move to a new house? Visit her often, Father Steve, I fear that she won't be very happy there, old folk need familiar surroundings.
