Um.. can be considered, but not the original thought. I'll have to keep your point on hold till I get the correct answer. (Although you are sharing this point held in anticipation with pdurrant).

You deserve a point for that! Although the original reply was 'snow', but they both 'fall' and do not get hurt.

Deserving answer again, because there is no flaw in it. However, the original thought was 'Growing older'.
