Aging

Yesterday, while on a walk, my cute little first grader told me something every mother wants to hear. 

“Mom, when your hair is down and you aren’t wearing glasses you look like you’re 50.”

My oldest child, feeling bad for me, hurriedly chimed in. 

“I think you look 37.”

Thank goodness for kind-hearted children...and glasses. And it seems that, from now on, if I ever wear my hair down, it will always be while wearing glasses.
