From the Back Seat

I know it’s been way to long and I won’t bother to make excuses, so here’s a snippet from a recent drive time conversation.



From the back seat

D: “Hey Mom, can you do that thing outside?”


Me: “What thing?”


D: “That special thing. You not do that special outside, right?”


Me: (trying to keep my mind out of the gutter) “I don’t know what thing you’re talking about.”


D: “That special thing that you do with Dad.”


Me: dead silence


D: “That special thing where dad gived you that ring.”


Me: “Do you mean my wedding ring?”


D: “Yes! You not get weddinged outside, right?”


Me: “Yes, you can get married outside.”


D: “That not a good idea.”


Me : just because I had to know “Why isn’t it a good idea to get married outside?”


D: “Cause you drop the special ring in the grass and you not find it anymore.  That not good.”


This is why I don’t listen to the radio much these days.

A very wise woman once told me that life is about the story we tell at the end of the chapter. If statistics are to be believed, I’m closer to the end of my life than the beginning. I’ve quit the race to see who can have the office with best view or the most impressive job title. I’ve made peace with the fact there are some of my early dreams/goals that will never be realized. I love who I am and the women I have become AND boy do I have stories to tell!
