From Heather Bailey:
my 13-year-old is now nearly my height — about 1/2″ to go. So bizarre. On our way to my parents’ house yesterday, Elijah was telling me how awesome it is to have a mom so close to him in age. (I was 21 when we had him.)”When I’m 60, you’ll be 81,” he said.
“And we can play shuffleboard together, ” I replied.
“We can have a walker race to the country club!” he concluded.
An image that will stay with me for oh, at least 47 more years, if I’m fortunate enough to make it to that race. Now, of course, no 60-year-olds I know have a walker, but at 13, anyone over 40 is a candidate for a walker, right?
I love that kid.
I just had to pass on the love. I’m not that close in age to my own children but I certainly see the benefit to having them a little younger. Can you imagine your own baby having this conversation with you? It got me all teary.
