Youth Gone Bye-Bye

I was pleasantly surprised when Ethan told me that I looked "young" the other day.  I know that I immediately started smiling , and I checked my smiling reflection in the mirror to catch its cheery youthfulness. " Young?!" I thought to myself.  "I AM YOUNG!!"  I finished in positive affirmation.

I was just thinking that I  loved, loved, loved my boy for his youthful comments when he threw his afterthought at me.

"You are young mom, even though sometimes you look sooooooo old!"

Sigh.

Youthful moment gone.

  1. Kids are too funny sometimes. I'm hope that still made you smile just a little at least.

  2. You're only as old as you feel, or that is what I have been told anyway.... If this is true though, I may have one foot in the grave.

  3. Kids say the silliest things...as you know from my recent tampon post!

    But your photo is beautiful, and if it counts for anything I don't think you look old at all!

  4. Hah. I was just about to say "out of the mouths of babes" but I see that in your post label.

    I am sure you DO look young. We all look old to kids anyway.

    Take care Annie. God bless you and your family.
