George Washington

A student and I having a conversation about George Washington...
Me: He was the first president of the United States
O: Oh wow is he really old? 
Me: well he was but he's dead now.
O: Oh. Was he big and old when he died? 
Me: I think so. We all get old and die eventually. 
O: Not me, I'm not big or old. 
Me: No you're not and I'm not either but we will be someday.
O: Yea maybe...so did George Washington die 100 years ago or 40 minutes ago? 
Me: (laughing)...he did a LONG time ago...
O: Oh ok, so like 100? 
Me: Yea sure
