Transcript
Hi. My name is Henry. And I'm six years old. Hi. My name is Grace. And I'm four years old. Welcome to Old, New, Tried, and True.
It's joke time. Papa, what is the best thing about our relationship?
The best thing about our relationship is happiness because every time I see you, it makes me happy.
And every time you laugh, it makes me laugh. I am six. What do you remember from my age?
I saw President Kennedy when I was six in 1961. And I don't remember very much about it,
but I remember enough that my mother took all of us to a place in Paramus, New Jersey,
and I saw President Kennedy. What's your favorite age and why? I like being 17 because I got my driver's license,
and I was able to drive a car. And you only have 11 years until you'll be 17.
My favorite age is six, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
10, 100. Six, 20, and 40, and 100.
Henry and Grace, how old do you think I am? Maybe 63 or 64.
How old do you feel? I don't feel 67. I feel like I'm still in my 40s.
What is the biggest change you ever saw in your life. The biggest change I ever saw in my life
was when I lost my hair. I used to have hair just like yours.
All of a sudden, I have hair like this. But you know what?
I don't need many haircuts anymore. I don't have to get up in the morning and comb my hair. And no one ever says to me, your hair is a mess.
What do you wish to tell your younger self? Well, it's something that my mother told me that I
should have listened to more. Stay in school. Study hard. That's a very important thing.
If I could change my health, I think I would have learned at an early age to eat more vegetables. Now I just don't like them at all.
