Middle-age. And beyond

by Rosemary ~ January 30th, 2008

Yesterday my sons were discussing the movie, “What About Bob?” and Bill Murray. They were speculating as to whether he would make a sequel to one of his movies when one son said, “I doubt it; he’s pretty old now.”

Me: “I think he’s probably younger than me.” (I’m not sure about that. At all.)

Son: “Yeah, he is; he’s middle aged.”

So my eyebrows flew somewhere up near my hairline and my mouth took on an I-just-ate-an-unripened-persimmon look.

Son: “Ho, Mom, Mom….hahahaha. I didn’t mean anything by that….sorry……You look really cool in your sunglasses.”

Nice save, Nate.

Guess I’ll just mosey on over to Kim’s Brown Plate Special plan and see if I can knock the edge off of some of these declining years.

    Welcome to the Brown Plate Special! I’ve only been doing it since Monday, but so far it hasn’t been hard at all!

    Middle age —-not so-o-o-o bad. The one that got me was grandma, you’re old. Why Landen ? Because I can beat you at this game and your hair is gray.

    Children are so honest.

    This is cute…I like the brown plate special idea! I eat really healthy these days, but smaller portions is always a good idea.

    I love your sense of humor on this aging thing….I need some of that!

    Oh what people perceive as old seems really off the older I get :)
    Yep I’m with you on the brown plate special. Getting ready to post about it on Monday!
