Younger than springtime, am I

When two of my grandkids were very small but old enough to sit up and hold onto objects, one of the first animated things that each of them did was to hold up an adult shoe to their ears and make believe they were talking on the phone. Of course I thought that each one of them was so creative and brilliant. I marveled how they could substitute a shoe for a cell phone. Sometimes they would just pick up anything that was more or less rectangular and hold it to their ears and pretend to be talking.

This image came back to me this afternoon as I dried myself off from the shower. I always bring both my cell phone and landline to the bathroom area (God forbid I should miss a call from my gallery!) So I'm all dried off, have put my clothes on and go to return both phones to their proper places in my bedroom. Only as I was going to put my landline phone back in its cradle I realized that I had picked up the Dove body lotion which is also white and sort of rectangular in shape.
Now either I am younger than springtime like my grandkids or older than dirt. Unfortunetly it's the latter.
