For Uncle Phil

Emma: So, Charlotte and Daddy really went to Six Flags?

Me: Yes.

Emma: They didn't use my ticket, did they?

Me: No, mommy's uncle gave them two free tickets to go.

Emma (shocked): You have an uncle who is still alive?

Me (laughing): Yes, I have lots of uncles who are still alive.  Nana's parents are still alive too.

Emma: What?  How old are they?

Me: 70-something.

Emma:  How old is your uncle anyway?

Me: Well, he's Nana's brother.  I think he is 49 or 50.

Emma: Well, when you are 50, your uncle is going to be dead.  There is no way he can live that long.

So, Phil, enjoy the next 15 years! Emma doesn't think you'll last much longer than that!
