His ear drum is busted and her knee is blown out and when she goes for a light jog she always comes back aching.
He can't play soccer the way he used to and she has arthritis in her left hand fingers and when it's cold they hurt.
We aren't old. We know this.
But we can see the gears rusting and the bolts loosening and we think back to that time when we couldn't imagine ever aging beyond the age of thirteen.
