Discussion Plan: Growing Up and Growing Old

  • Do you celebrate your birthday? If so, what exactly are you celebrating?
  • If we didn’t have time (days, months, years), would we still get older? Would we grow up?
  • As we grow older, do our memories grow older?
  • As we grow older, do our thoughts grow older?
  • If we had a magic lotion that stopped us aging, would we still grow older each year?
  • Is it possible that some things become smaller as they grow older? (can you give an example?)
  • Could you grow older without growing up?
  • What is the difference between growing up and growing older?
