Perspective

by Miss Britt on July 3, 2007

My son has been obsessed with timelines lately.

How old were you when I was born? 19
How old were you when your brothers were born? 6 and 9
How old was I when my sister was born? 5
How old was dad when the dinosaurs died? 13

Recently, I overheard him ask his father, “how old was mom when you married her?”

Silence.

Silence.

“Dad! How old was mom when you got married?”

Still, nothing.

“I was 20 when I married your daddy.”

My son stops and you can see the wheels whirring in his little brain. My husband shoots me the Way To Ruin His Faith In The Sanctity Of Family And Marriage Look.

Suddenly my son breaks into his own mini-version of the Naked Happy Dance.

“Ha! Ha! Ha! Mom had me before she had you, Dad! Ha! Ha! How you like THAT Dad?! Take THAT!”

God, I love that kid.

Psst... thanks for stopping by! I hope I didn't traumatize you too badly on your first visit. Remember to subscribe to my RSS feed if you want updates from the site!

    I love it! Kids always take care of their mothers even when they don’t realize they are doing it.
