How old is old? Incalculable.A 12 year old girl is not old enough to have a boyfriend - but she is already old enough to take care of her younger brother. Is she old?
How old is old? Immeasurable.
Museum artifacts can be from 200 years ago. Old by today’s standards, but add another 200 years and they will still be old. Time can not determine their oldness.
How old is old? Infinity.
Take a young baby. The very minute after they are born, they become old. A day old, a month old, a year old. Old, until -- they grow old.
