"Old Married"

Last night while I was tucking Nathan in for bed he began playing with the pearl earrings I was wearing. He has always rubbed or tugged on his ears to soothe himself, and I suppose it was equally comforting to touch mine while he listened to prayers and bedtime stories. Several minutes of examining my earrings eventually led to the following conversation...


Me: Did you know these are special earrings that Daddy gave me?

Nathan: When you were married.

Me: (amazed that he remembered) Yes! That's right! He gave them to me when we got married.

Nathan: (matter-of-factly) You are married. But now you are old married.

.......

(For the record, Jason says he still loves me like we're new married.)
