what a lovely way of sayin’

11Aug11

This week, from afar, I began giving directions to a family; mom dad and son.  Mom and Dad were bringing the son to college to move in.  A big day.

As I moved closer to the family and began to chit chat on our walk to the next stop, I began to realize that perhaps this family was unique.  The stark white hair and a few other features ensured me that this mother was a few decades older than I expected.  Well, perhaps he was bringing his grandmother along to see his new living space.  I didn’t say a word and tried not to make any assumptions, but just paid attention.

Nope, it was his mom.

On my way back to my office, I thought maybe I should just get pregnant now.  If I wait another minute, surely I will be her age when my son goes away to college.
