I’d love to see my grandmother on a swing!

I didn’t mean to suggest that everyone over 60 is a grandparent, so thanks for pointing that out.

Dora — I did not know that. One thing’s for sure, America should get on the ball, especially with its enormous baby boomer population.

I have not travelled much in China, but I have also come across one in Chengdu.

I just want to mention that not everyone over 60 is a grandparent. Just because someone is older, don’t assume she’s a “grandma.”

There is a time and place for our elders to “act their age” – when they want to. I’m all for playgrounds and parks and Wii controllers. Now, when will they make a playground for the 40-year-olds??? We need one, too!
