In the eyes of a child an adult can just as easily be twenty-five as sixty-five. If you're six the two ages may as well be the same.
This afternoon, in my basement, the following conversation took place between Madeleine and her friend B___:
Madeleine (while waiting for her She-Ra video to start): This is a really great movie.
B___: She-Ra is really pretty.
Madeleine: Yes, she is. And she's also really, really old. My mom used to watch this what she was a kid! (Her eyes are bugging out as she says this, as if she herself can't quite believe it).
B___: Whoa, that IS old!
Hmph.

With that in mind, don't wait til you're 65 to try to pass yourself off as a "senior" at the movies, etc. The 16 year old ticket taker won't question anyone over 40.
that made me LOL
p.s., we ARE old.
Dear supermom... I found your blog through Boots and Sabers... and to my delight ...you were exactly who I thought you were!! I can't believe how big your kids are now!!! I remember when Hank was born and that makes ME feel old!!!!!
Would love to see you and J and the kids soon.
