This Kids? Are NOT Good For My Ego.
Dylan and I were driving home from preschool today when we passed an old, rusty, beat up, nasty ass car.
He asked me “Mom, how did that car get so old?”
So I said, “I don’t know, how did YOU get so old?” (I know, I know, missed teaching opportunity. Whatever)
And he said: ”I’m not old! I’m just a kid. You’re old when you’re…”
*dramatic pause*
“How old are you, Mommy?”
“Thirty.”
“You’re old when you’re thirty.”
Fucking kid.

Thanks, buddy! Mommy loves you!
My neighbor’s 4 year old was talking about her being 38. So I asked “Jack, how old am I?” His reply?
“50?”
Awesome.

Oh, I can feel the love. I can’t wait to get the same crap from my kid. I will say, I remember when I thought 30 was old, I probably thought 37 (my current age) had one foot in the grave.

That is one thing I am NOT looking forward too, the bluntness of my child.

Well, you kinda walked into that one, didn’t you? I tend to “your face” everything, so I would have snapped back at Dylan “YOUR FACE IS OLD!!!!!!!”

LOL! Thankfully my kids don’t think we are old, but that’s because a lot of their friends have parents that are older than us by at least 20 years. I do get asked by my friend’s daughter who is about Dylan’s age how come my kids have to be so old.

Try having a child who knows you were 40 when he was born. Since the age of six, every time someone asked him how old he was he’d reply “I’m 6 and my mom is 46″ or “I’m 10 and my mom is 50″. He’s now 13 and it’s no longer cute. At all. Really.
