For some reason, I believed nobody was older than my dad. And it wasn't as if I didn't have grandparents; I did! I just thought that. Then we were at a resturant one night and while dad was talking to the waitress she told him how old she was. At the time he was 33 and she was 42. I remember thinking, "that's impossible! no one's older than Dad!"
