Getting Old

My grandma keeps feeding me. Maybe all this food will make me taller.

I noticed her fingers as she watched me eat. On old people (especially old women) fingers get thinner, and wedding rings start to hang and swing easily. On grandma, the ring lay sort of diagonal along her finger. The ring was very new, she was very old.

Also, my grandpa's vericose veins don't really stand out too much. It's like his arm has become harder in old age, covered with wiry hair, the occasional scar or fresh cut, and what look like actual calluses.

Has he been around long enough to get calluses everywhere?

Anyway, I should remember this, for the next time I describe old people.
