the past tense

i just realized that i may not be so fond of the past tense
tomorrow is my 14th wedding anniversary
tonight after dinner my oldest daughter and i were doing dishes and cleaning up the kitchen
when all of a sudden she says "i can see why you married dad!"
i reply "oh why is that, because he is such a nice guy?"
her reply "oh no, probably because you were pretty!"
like was, but aren't anymore?...i gave her a really hard time, we laughed pretty hard, and she assured me that wasn't what she meant
but still with the end of the thirties approaching......

Happy 14 th Anniversary!!! Hope you had a special day. Kids say the funniest things sometimes - I don't think they can imagine that we were young once.

Happy Anniversary! We're celebrating our 13th later this month.

My youngest said something along those lines recently and has told me that my diet isn't working fast enough! Ha!
