Ellie zinged me last night.

I was talking about my ballet teacher from when I was a girl.  Hannah asked me how old I was when I had this teacher.  I said, “Well, I was about your age.”

Hannah replied, “I wonder how many years ago that was.”

I started counting back, and gee, it was more years than I cared to remember.

Ellie commented, as she chewed on her carrot, “I think it was a million or something.”

Thanks, kid, it was a lot, but not quite a million.
