My oldest turned 21 today. Where in the world did all that time go?

You blinked.

What kind of car were you driving?

Studebaker hawk - 4 on the floor - fire engine red and quick for sure.

You're a mere child - my oldest grand child is 25.

I was working at a convenience store in OH., and a good looking guy walked in with his dog. He smiled and nodded, then walked to the back for beer. I had my back turned when a deep southern voice asked for cigarettes. I’m glad I did because that voice made me gasp for air! A few months later, Valentine’s Day, we were talking in the store during a blizzard (he was driving a snowplow). I mentioned I’d never had a real valentine. He came back an hour later with a brownie sundae from DQ. He said it was the best he could do in the storm with almost everything being shut. We STILL weren’t dating. That came on April 12th. Does anyone know how to respond to, “On a hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?” This woman did! It was then he finally asked me out.
I moved a few months later for what was supposed to be six months. My mother needed help with my teen sister and her baby. I went to OH a few times, and we got engaged.
Yada, yada, tragedy… he passed away.

NICE!!! No wonder she agreed to go out with you.

I was about a hundred years old when we decided to start having kids.

She has finally been freed of the onesie (stitches came out on Tuesday). She was happy to no longer have to wear the donut, haha.

I dunno... that donut is hilarious!!!

Maybe have her wear it for Halloween.

I don't understand why I am no longer 16....

I do not understand how I had children... or how the tiny babies are now adults..

I don't understand how the person in the mirror looks OLD

Time is the craziest of irrational things

 

[sourland]

I am glad that I am no longer 16

I understand how we had children. I did well in biology, but I don't understand how they dared to make lives of their own.

I do not look at the person in the mirror. The Princess lies and says that I look good.

Time IS the craziest of irrational things.

I’m not sure how I feel about this… A combination of , , and
