Kids Say the Darnedest Things.....
So, tonight while decorating the Christmas tree with the kids, Katelyn said something to me that is a sad milestone for me as a parent. As I handed each of them an ornament, I would tell them if it was one of theirs or one of mine from when I was a kid. As I gave Katelyn an ornament, I told her it was one from when I was a kids and she said to me, "Mom, does mean that you were a kid in the olden days when they didn't have cars?" I couldn't help but laugh. And then I told her that no I was not THAT old. But apparently I have reached the age where my children believe I am really old. Funny thing too, because I remember asking my own parents something similar and truly being surprised they had cars when they were young!! I am also surprised that Katelyn even knows what the "olden days" are and that they didn't have cars in the olden days. Oh, to be young again. Wait, I am still young, no matter what my kids think!

At least she didn't say "back in the olden days when they didn't have internet."
Well you are in your thirties now. Wow pretty old. I remember thinking that my parents were really old when they were 40. I think 30's are the new 20's. At least that is what I tell myself.
