  • I'm Alice.

  • And I'm Rob.

  • Now Alice, how old are you?

  • I'm 21, Rob.

  • Not a day older.

  • Come on, don't be coy about your age, Alice.

  • Coy, by the way, means not wanting to give away information about yourself.

  • I'm not being coy, Rob.

  • I just don't feel like telling everyone how old I am.

  • Some people think it's rude to ask.

  • I don't mean to be rude, of course, but, well, you are being coy.

  • I'm asking because today we're talking about age and whether you can be too old for some things.

  • What do you think?

  • I'm too old to order off children's menus in restaurants,

  • but I still do it.

  • Anything else?

  • Well, I couldn't pull an all-nighter anymore.
