I firmly believed that my parents would not die. Old people were old, and that was their lot. It was my parents job to stay about 28 and make sure everyone got to college safely.
As for me, I knew I'd be ten one day, but that was the distant future. Until I got there, I was fine with whatever age I happened to be at.
