…Eldest Son was born. I think that’s supposed to make me feel old. But the truth is, when he graduated high school two years ago, that made me feel old! I could not believe my baby was graduating high school. After all, I started seeing My Liege on the May long weekend the year I graduated high school (hey, that would be 30 years ago this weekend!) (I nearly forgot!)
For my American readers, this weekend is Victoria Day in Canada (celebrated Monday—no school or work). It’s a holiday in honor of Queen Victoria’s birthday, I believe, and Queen Elizabeth’s birthday, although it falls in June, is apparently celebrated this weekend, too.
Oh, by the way, in case you haven’t figured it out, that’s Eldest Son in the photo, at six months old. Isn’t he a cutie?
But back to the subject of my post. Feeling old. Youngest Son graduates high school in a few weeks. And that’s not making me feel old, either. So I guess the moral of the story is that, no matter how old you are when you have your first child—be it 16 or 42—when that first child graduates high school, you will feel old. So have your kids late in life, so you can feel old, well, later.
Now, for fun, see if you can guess the identity of this piece of pumpkin pie:
Is there a resemblance?
