So today I was at a jewelry store in the Mall at Whitney Fields picking up a gift for someone special, when I noticed a young man inspecting one of those pocket watches on a chain.  "Ben, look, " he said, indicating the watches, "they're only a hundred bucks!"  "Yeah but those are for old people, " said Ben.   I chuckled, because I know some young kids who would think them pretty cool.  Ben heard me chuckle, looked up at me, and said "Oh, sorry!"

As in "Oh sorry, I didn't know there were any old people around."

As in "You are old."

Thanks Ben.

I laughed again and said "Thanks a lot, that makes it so much better."

Merry Christmas, Ben.  I hope Santa puts a hundred dollar pocket watch in your stocking.  I hear Santa's an old fart, you know.  He probably likes that sort of thing...
