Listen to how we talk about older people and one word keeps showing up.

He's still sharp. She still drives. He still does his own taxes.

We mean it warmly. But look at what's underneath it — every one of those sentences quietly assumes that by now, he shouldn't be. The compliment is really surprise. And he can hear that as clearly as you can.

Tomorrow is National Senior Citizens Day. When Reagan signed the proclamation in 1988, the wording honored older Americans for what they'd achieved — and then, in the same breath, for all they continue to accomplish. Present tense. Not a thank-you note for a finished life.

So here's a suggestion for tomorrow. Instead of thanking him, ask him for something. Advice. A recipe. How to fix a thing.

Being asked is worth more than being thanked. It's the difference between being valued and being appreciated.

Ask your mother what she had for lunch yesterday and she may have to think about it.

Ask her the name of her second-grade teacher and it will come out without a pause.

That's not a lapse. Researchers describe something called the reminiscence bump — adults recall the years between about ten and thirty more sharply than any other stretch of life, because that's when everything was happening for the first time. The ten-thousandth ordinary Tuesday leaves no mark. The first day of first grade leaves a permanent one.

The buses started running again this week, which makes this the best month of the year to ask.

Some questions that work better than "tell me about when you were young":

Who was your first-grade teacher? How did you get to school? What did you carry your lunch in? What did the school smell like? What got you in trouble? What did you want to be back then?

Bring photographs if you have them. Bring pictures of your own kids on their first day this week — the comparison is usually where the best stories come out.

Write down what she says. Every family has one story they wish they'd gotten on paper.
