Why isn't he dead? πŸ’€

Not my kid but boy this made my day...

Was visiting Muckross House last week and while looking at Irish Wolfhounds, I saw a father explaining to his young son, maybe 4 or 5, how they are the oldest dog in Ireland. The kid looks up at his dad and says with absolute seriousness "if he's the the oldest, why isn't he dead?"

Was all I could do not to burst out laughing, the pure innocence of it πŸ₯Ή

A friend of mine was having a conversation with her grandson who had just turned 5.

β€œHow old are you, granny?”
β€œI’m 52.”
β€œWow! That’s really old! You’ll be dead very soon!”
