Best response to 5 year old calling me an old lady?

I would simply say that it is not polite to say old lady or old man, especially when talking about her grandparents but that you are very happy to talk about your memories of “the olden days” with her.

It’s true. I am a little old lady but I don’t feel like I’m a little old lady. However, my granddaughter who is 5, will often refer to me as an old lady. I’ve tried responding to her by saying I’m grateful to be old but that does not seem to be the most appropriate response for her. I was just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the best way to respond to the younger group who seem to enjoy calling us older women “ little old ladies.”
