Mad Faces and Aging

“Andrew, how was preschool today?”

“Good.”

“Is your teacher nice?”

“My teacher has a mad face.”

“Hmm…is she mean to you?”

“No. She just has a mad face and she is not beautiful,” Andrew said. “And mom, she has a brown tooth.”

This was obviously an area that Ethan felt he had some expertise, so he jumped into the conversation to explain.

“Andrew, sometimes when we get old, our teeth turn to wood and fall out.”

Bone turns to wood? Wow! Who knew? I guess we have a lot to look forward to as we age.

And just so you know, Andrew’s preschool teacher is a very nice woman but I guess he’s not really into the “older” crowd. Andrew has told me himself that he likes his women “tall, and strong, and talking.”

(this means no babies)

I guess he should have added another pre-requisite; under 40.

Yikes! I won't qualify for long myself!
