I had a very unusual experience yesterday. I’m still having difficulty believing what happened. I was just walking down the street, minding my own business, when a very handsome older gentleman tapped me on my shoulder. Now I will tell you – I was lookin’ DY*NO*MITE. I had on a cute little miniskirt and five-inch stiletto heels. A jeweled halter top completed my ensemble. After the shoulder tap, he casually asked if I would like to have a coffee at a nearby Bistro. I politely declined and explained that I was a happily married woman with six children. “Six children!” he exclaimed. “But that’s impossible. You look so incredibly young and amazingly thin and toned.”
Some of you, Dear Readers, are saying to yourselves, “What is she talking about? She doesn’t have six children.” Perhaps you should help me count.
I have Katie and her husband Henry. That’s two. I have Meghann and her spouse, Scott. That’s two more for a total of four. I have Patrick for a count of five. And now ….. DRUM ROLL ….. I have Patrick’s wife Jessica. We welcomed Jessica into our family on April 2nd, 2011. Now wouldn’t you agree that I have six children?
So happy.
The portion of this post that explained why I say I have six children – totally true. The part about the mini and heels – not so much.
I LOVE YOU JESSICA.
