Is there a difference between the young and the old?
A Child - simple, trusting, innocent, perhaps even gullible.

   A Child - one to be protected. "No, honey, don't touch!" "That's hot!" "It's too dangerous." "You'll get hurt."

      A Child - often forgets; sometimes ignores authority; occasionally just doesn't care.

         A Child - one who wishes he were older; possessor of a wonderful imagination.

A Senior Citizen - one who wishes he were young again; possessor of a fragile memory.

   A Senior Citizen - someone who others view as useless or unable to care for himself; we must take care of him, whether he wants us to or not.

      A Senior Citizen - one to be protected.

         A Senior Citizen - simple, trusting, innocent, perhaps even gullible.

Child's Play - the circle of life.
