58 Years Apart – A Girl and a Woman Talk About Life

I’ll sit here. OK.
00:00:06
What’ll we talk about? My name is Gloria. How are you? My name’s Lucia.
00:00:13
Lucia? That’s a beautiful name and you’re a gorgeous looking girl. What’s the best thing about being old? People are nicer to you when you’re older.
00:00:21
I don’t really think, to be quite truthful, there’s an awful lot going for being older. Will you swap? Well, I’d swap with you in a heartbeat.
00:00:28
I don’t know how you’d swap being an adult. No, I don’t know either. But it would be nice, wouldn’t it? You could swap around- if I could be you for a few days and you could be me.
00:00:37
You’d have to go home and cook the dinner- and look after the dog. I have a beautiful dog. Would you like that? I’d like it when I’m an adult but- not when I’m still a child. Not when you’re seven. That’s lovely.
00:00:48
What’s the best thing about being young? You get to play with your friends- and play with your best friends. And who’s your best friend? Actually, I have two best friends- Leo and Heather.
00:00:59
Leo is a big brother- that’s kind of like a twin for me- because he was born on the same day as me- but not from my mom. Do you wish you’re young? Why? Oh! Because when you’re young, you have great times- you have loads and loads of friends- and you’re out all the time.
00:01:17
You don’t have all these responsibilities. You know what responsibilities are? Yeah, chores.
00:01:22
Yes, exactly! Very, very good, honey.
00:01:24
Go off to dances and pictures and parties- so that’s why I would love to be younger again. But you’d still have to listen to your mom.
00:01:33
You’re right. You always have to listen to your mom.
00:01:35
When you fall in love, darling, what will it be like? I fell in love with Leo.
00:01:41
You didn’t tell me he was your boyfriend you just said he was a friend.
00:01:44
He was my best friend but- then I just fell in love with him.
00:01:48
When the time comes when you’re allowed to ask- boys with girls if they want to marry you- I’m going to ask him to marry me. Did you fall in love? What was it like? Well, I fell in love a few times but when I fell in love with Callum. That’s my husband outside, it was fabulous.
00:02:09
He’s a very funny man- and he makes me laugh. He still makes me laugh- and that’s what I love about him still. Does getting old scare you? No.
00:02:18
Why do you think it doesn’t scare you? I don’t wish to be old straight away but I do want to be old but I don’t wish to be old straight away. Does getting older scare you? Yeah.
00:02:29
Getting old does scare me a bit.
00:02:31
When you get older, you get more sick. and- you’re not as quick on your feet. You can’t run- and you can’t do loads of things that you used to be able to do Yeah, getting old is scarier.
00:02:42
It is. Without a shadow of a doubt.
00:02:44
I know what always makes me happy when I’m sad- with my mom when I look like this- and it makes my mom laugh- then it makes me start laughing! Can I copy that? Yeah! You go like this? Yeah, like this- That’s making me dizzy! I don’t think I can do that! The only thing I can tell you is- to take every chance- and every opportunity. Enjoy everything- and have a fabulous, fabulous life. I will! and I hope you and Leo are going to be very, very, very happy but enjoy life, that’s the most important thing- to really, really enjoy life.
00:03:24
So, first you- you’re looking at your nose then you go- back to looking at your nose. Like that? Yeah.
