I’m 44 years old.
My husband is 51.
He looks much younger than that, though.
So when he tells people that he’s been in the construction business for over 30 years, they look at him like he’s totally full of shit.
It’s very annoying, especially now that my age is catching up with me.
Last night after Number 6 and 7 were in bed, my husband, Numbers 2, 3, 4, and 5, and I were all watching American Idol.
The kids were talking about how young or old the contestants looked.
And then Number 4 blurted out,
“DAD! Mom keeps YOU young!”
My husband almost spit his drink out.
“YOU LOOK YOUNG, DAD!!!
You only look like you’re 40!
That’s because of MOM!”
We just kind of looked at each other.
“DAD! You look young because of Mom!
She’s a younger woman!
AND MARRYING A YOUNGER WOMAN IS WHAT KEEPS YOU LOOKING AND FEELING YOUNG!!!”
You know, I keep telling my husband he owes everything to me.
Maybe now that Number 4 has set him straight, he’ll finally believe me.
