Perhaps he was just trying to make you feel better about getting older by pointing out that there's someone older than you?

Thanks, I think you got it right. Through the fog of family politics it's not always easy to see the real meaning of things.



Ps. I'll just ignore the "will" comment.

Lol- I was going to point out that the younger sons historically had to strike out on their own, or join the priesthood.

When my Son turned 4 I wrote on his bowling pin(yes, he had a bowling party even though we are not from Vantucky) "4 more years"......It didn't mean anything except that I was exhausted and didn't know what the heck I was doing

It meant you dug the past four years enough to sign up for the next four. It meant you loved him. You may have been tired, but I know exactly what you meant. We're coming up on number ten for our girl, and I may just write on her cake "and ten more!"

That'll make her 20th birthday a bit awkward when you have to kill her to make good on your promise.

Lol! No, but hopefully by then she'll have her own place- like a college dorm room.
