Getting Old?

On the way to church yesterday, John asked me some random question.  At the moment, I don't remember what the question was, but this was our conversation.

me: I don't know, John.

John: Why not?

me: Because I'm getting old.

John: You're not old, Mom.  Daddy's (pause) not old either.

me: Oh! Well, that's good to know.  Thanks, John.

John: But Grandpa is old!  Not Grandpa VM or Grandpa-Great though.

me: (trying to control my laughter) Why don't you think Grandpa VM or Grandpa Great are old?

John: Well, they don't have holes in their pants and shirts.

(If I hadn't been laughing so hard, I should have responded by saying that John must be old too since he keeps getting holes in his jeans.)
