Making "Old"

Charlotte put this blanket around Grandpa Tom's head and kept saying that he was old now. We all chuckled, but I silently wondered where that came from.

Then she came around to put blankets on everyone's head and said she was making them old too.

WHAT does it mean?



Michael finally figured it out. In Snow White, when the mean queen transforms herself into an old lady, she put something over head as part of becoming "old."
