\"ajbaby.jpg\"…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<\/em> made me feel old! I could not believe my baby was graduating high school. After all, I\u00a0started seeing\u00a0My Liege on the May long weekend the year I<\/em> graduated high school (hey, that would be 30 years ago this<\/em> weekend!) (I nearly forgot!)<\/p>\n

For my American readers,\u00a0this weekend is\u00a0Victoria Day in Canada (celebrated Monday\u2014no 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.<\/p>\n

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?<\/p>\n

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\u2014be it 16 or 42\u2014when that first child graduates high school, you will<\/em> feel old. So have your kids late in life, so you can feel old, well, later.<\/p>\n

Now, for fun, see if you can guess the identity of this piece of pumpkin pie:<\/p>\n
