Remmy hopped up on a chair and said, “My name is Remmy Theodore Evans. But most people just call me Remmy.”

Well, Remmy, let me tell you the story about wrinkles. Most people think wrinkles are a sign of age, but they’re really a sign of use. When you’re wrinkled, like me, it means you have lived a full life. It means you have more memories than most people do. I’ll show you what I mean.

How many times has Santa Claus visited your house?” Remmy scratched his head, and his eyes rolled back before he finally responded. “Well, I’m six, but I can only remember the last couple of years, and Santa Claus came those times.” “So you know for sure that Santa Claus visited your house at least twice?” asked Royce. “Yeah, that’s right,” replied Remmy. “Listen to this,” announced Royce. “Santa Claus has visited me eighty-nine times!” Remmy’s eyes opened wide, and with his mouth gaping he declared, “Wow! You must have a lot of great toys!” “I did,” said Royce, laughing. “Many of them are old now, like me.” “But when toys get old they don’t get wrinkled,” remarked Remmy.

Royce chuckled and said, “That’s right. Instead they get chipped paint and broken pieces. It’s kind of the same thing. The same way toys get used, people’s bodies get used. Toys get old because we use them. My body is old and wrinkled because I used it. Do you have an old toy that doesn’t work well anymore?” “Yeah, a couple of them,” replied Remmy. — Beliefnet.com
