You....yeah, you did. But you're not that old. Old is like Granny Pinako when you have grey hair and grandkids.

[Fifties is way young in comparison. And that is not even going into Hohenheim's age for that matter either. Ed's father is something of a unique case for a lot of reasons. Ed himself doesn't have kids (yet), so he can't really imagine being separated from your children, not being able to see them at all back home. But he can sympathize to some extent, in perhaps some slight comparisons to Izumi or Sig. His 'family' back home. Himself being separated from Al. That hurts. Even if nothing and nobody can quite entirely replace that bond.]

You've probably gathered I don't have the best experience to draw on with fathers though.
