I made a kid cry when she realized her 5 year old great dane didn't have much longer to live...

We were looking at linear regressions and scatter plot analysis, and the example I made was the lifespan of dogs vs. their weight.  We were having some really good discussions, and then...

Student: What's the longest a dog has ever lived?
Me: I think there are dogs on record at 27 or 28.
Student: Oh my gosh, that's like a whole person's life!
Me: Uhh...I hope you live past that age.
Student:  Well, it's like your age until you have kids.
Me: So your life is over after you have kids?
Student: That's what I hear, anyway.
