Age Before Disputy

Doug's mother and I sat next to each other at Thanksgiving, so that we could read each other's lips at close range, I guess. Sheesh.

Part way through dinner, the subject between the two of us switched to holiday gift-giving. (My sister-in-law's fiber-optic tree had worked its magic.)

"All I want for Christmas," my mother-in-law said in certain terms, "is a picture of the three of you."

I did a quick mental head count before responding.

"Which three?"

We had a meeting of the eyes, if not the minds. I stared into her face, and saw the intent deepen in her jaw line as her brow furrowed. I concentrated on her lips, determined not to misunderstand her forthcoming reply.

"You, Doug, and the kids."

Alrighty, then.

  2. Yeah. It would be scarier if I thought it was her age, but it's not. She's always been like this! Names and numbers are not her thing....Did I mention she called me Debbie (the other girl Doug was engaged to) for the first 5 years we were married? I can say these things, even in a public forum like this, because of the large love she and I share. :)
