Here is a real thing. For my entire life, I have encountered elderly people browsing through goods at the various stores I frequent. My reaction to seeing them has always been the same. I think to myself: How sweet! There is an elderly person out doing what they do.
The
other day, upon seeing an elderly woman studying a display of oven cleaning
supplies, I entertained my normal reaction.
Then, a few paces after whisking by her, a startling realization occurred
to me. The elderly woman may have been no
more than five or six years older than me.
