Ways in Which Children Keep You Young
Aug. 28th, 2016 12:33 pmYesterday, in the course of running lots of errands, we pulled up next to a very nice, probably very pricey Porsche. I indicated it to Wonderful Husband, asking for confirmation that it's what we would term a "midlife crisis car." He agreed.
The thing about midlife crisis cars is, there's no backseat. Or at most the barest suggestion of one, which wouldn't actually fit any passengers. Therefore, we cannot purchase any midlife crisis cars until our boys are out of the house and off to college. Which is 18 years away!
Therefore, logically, we are at least 18 years off of being middle-aged. :)
Given that I'm coming up on a significant birthday later this week, the thought is oddly cheering.
(Plus, if I can't hit midlife until I'm 58, that means I'll live to 116, right? ^_^)
