Losing Age

I overheard Alex saying, “I don’t want my parents to be kids again.”
I asked if he was playing or talking about Papa and me.
“I’m talking about you and Papa. I don’t want you to be kids again. I like my parents you take care of me.”
“We’re not going to be kids again.”
“I heard you. You said you and Papa were going to lose weight.”
