That girl of mine is 41 today, Monday October 12th.
The one I married. The one who married me.
Yeah, that one.
FORTY ONE.
She was 20 when I met her.
TWENTY.
I remember her first legal drink.
It was her 21st birthday. We were with her grandparents,
and they made a big deal of buying her a drink in a restaurant.
The waitress carded her, and everyone beamed
that she passed the scrutiny and got her libation.
Now she’s 41.
And you know what? She got carded the other day!
This is because she doesn’t look 41.
I look 41.. maybe. On a good day.
She still looks like she’s 20..
..to me.
We’ve had 20 good years together.
God only knows if we’re in for 20 more.
I hope so.
I love you, birthday girl.
But I’m not buying this “FORTY ONE” stuff, so..
I’ll need to see your ID please

We knew it was your birthday because it popped up on Google calendar. I was impressed with myself, but then more impressed with the loving note from Rhodester. Loving and funny, what a combo!
Hope you had a good one. XX

Don’t be too impressed – I just edited last year’s birthday post for her because I ran out of time. I suck. But thanks, you know?
