From the mouth of a seven-year-old that is lucky I love him so much

March 17, 2008

“What is this?” he asked, pointing to the corner of my eye.

“What is what?”

“This little line. Is it wrinkles?”

“Well, yes, it is a wrinkle… I guess.”

“My mom has wrinkles. She is old.”

“Your mom is not old.”

“But she does have wrinkles. She says some are from me, and some are from my brother.”

“Well that’s probably true.”

“Why do you have wrinkles if you don’t have kids?”

“I have a wrinkle.” (Feeling a little petty.)

“Well I think you need to hurry and have some kids so you have a good reason for it.”

    Just more evidence that you can indeed get wrinkles, pardon me - WRINKLE - through osmosis, from other people’s kids.

    THAT is priceless. I don’t have kids and I have more than one! Oh well. Thankfully most of them are smile lines, not so much from frowning!

    Wrinkles are from laughing and living an active life outside - laughing is key. Gray hair, my mom always said, was from marriage and kids (and well deserved). I can’t say that she is right as I have the kid (and wow, is she a kid) but I don’t have the gray hair… perhaps it is marriage that provides those gray hairs?
