Just after we arrived at my parent’s house in Ohio my son noticed a picture of me sitting on the dresser upstairs. It was a photo I had taken just before I graduated college in 2001.
Before the wife thing.
Before the babies.
My son couldn’t quit staring at the picture. He seemed very concerned. Finally, he asked me about it.
Jake: Mommy is that you in that picture?
Me: Yes, honey. That was Mama many years ago.
Jake: Daddy said that’s what you looked like when you met him.
Me: He’s right.
Jake: *with a very concerned face* Well, when did you become regular?
Me: *silent*
Jake: When did you start to look so regular, Mommy?
Me: *thinking out loud* More importantly, Jake. When did Mama discover brow waxing!?
Happy Thanksgiving From Us Regular People!
Oh my… goodness! That is hilarious! I have shown pictures of me in my early 20's to my 22 month old asking him who it is and he can't answer… like, he may know it's me, but it doesn' totally look like me, you know? Haha… oh sigh…
P.S. Great picture of you, pretty girl!
Too funny! I guess I can relate b/c I'm a regular person too
Happy Thanksgiving.
This was funny. My child doesn't think there's ANYTHING regular about me.
And you're more beautiful today.. You still stop me dead in my tracks..
that's funny. when i first read it, i was thinking regular as in, regular in the restroom. if you know what i mean! love the way kids point all that out for us. now i'm going to be aware of those not-so-regular pictures of me when i go to my parents today!
