My Age

I am still a young woman. I have five children, so I am not exactly a spring chicken, but am young none-the-less. Inspite of that fact, I am constantly obsessing about how old I am getting. I didn't realize that the kids were paying attention to it till a conversation I had with my son. During his Bible lesson (we homeschool) he learned that people in Bible days lived much longer than they do now. People lived to be in the hundreds back then. So after much reflection, he called me over to the computer and said, "Mama, its too bad that we don't still live to be 900 years old. If we did then Grammy (my 70 year old Grandmother) would be considered a young woman. I would still be a baby. And you really would be considered 29." Out of the mouths of babes.
