But I think we will always have to fight it to some extent.

I went to school with ‘old’ people.

I worked with one old person in particular (young enough to be my daughter), and to be honest she slipped out of her mother’s womb, old. I doubt she was ever a child…or indeed, an adult who could validate a child’s perspective. Mind you, her attitude made many of us laugh, but in reality she was sad. Lovely to meet you. :)
