Chris Preovolos/The Advocate

Sofia Rinaldi, 12, center, puts on her game-face during the Stamford Youth Foundation’s middle school field hockey team practice at Rippowam Middle School.

MAKING ME FEEL OLD: I had the following conversation with an eleven-year-old before the practice:

KID: Is that the new iPhone?
ME: Yeah.
KID: I don’t even have a cell phone.
ME: Well, I didn’t have one until I was in college.
KID: Yeah, but…
ME: Wait. Please don’t say ‘they didn’t have them when you were a kid.’
KID: Well, they didn’t.
ME: Hey, I’m still hanging on to my twenties. I’m not that old. I had a beeper.
