Getting Older


This year I'm trying to deny that I will soon be leaving my 30's. My husband's family loves to tease me with the fact that I am soooo much older than Brett (by 3 years). So Brett will get to say that he is in his 30's for another precious 3 years.

The fact that I am getting older was brought to home when Sheriff was doing homework a couple of weeks ago and we were actually having to correct some mistakes that he had made. The answer had to do with the number of baby chicks that you would have and the correct answer was 15 chicks. Well Sheriff wrote down the answer then looked up at me... grinned... and inserted an arrow with the word hot in front of the number 15. I think I almost fell off my chair!!! 15 HOT CHICKS!?!

Trying to keep a straight face and at the same time freaking out inside wondering what happened to my little boy ... I calmly say... "do you really want to keep that answer? Your teacher is going to see that." He reluctantly erased it. Maybe I should have had him keep it and turn it in to his teacher so she could fall off her chair.
