We are always the same age inside.

“Inside every older person is a younger person – wondering what the hell happened.” – Cora Harvey Armstrong

For as you were when first your eye I eye’d,

“Eeyore,” said Owl, “Christopher Robin is giving a party.””Very interesting,” said Eeyore. “I suppose they will be sending me down the odd bits which got trodden on. Kind and Thoughtful. Not at all, don’t mention it.”
