Overheard // 4

by Ashley Weeks Cart

Her: Daddy? What are you?
Him: I’m a daddy. I’m James.
Her: No, what number are you?
Him: Oh! I’m 29.
Her: Can you help me count to 29?
Him: Sure.
**They count together to 29**
Her: Whoa, Daddy, that’s such a big number.

Even our three year old understands that we’re old.

Me: Seriously? You’ve had this room to yourself for four hours and yet you decide to rip a stinky one the moment I enter?
Him: Wait a second! You get to announce that you may bleed all over the bed but I’m not allowed to let go some flatulence?
Her: Dude. That ability to hemorrhage every month gave you two beautiful daughters. Nothing productive has ever come from your  ass.
Him: I’d say that that’s up for debate. Depends who you ask.

Happy Wedding Anniversary to us!

Text message from thoughtful, caring friend: Happy Anniversary, Carts!! Hope you have as much fun today as you did 4 years ago. xoxo
James’ reply: Hot tub, champagne, pools, mountain top views, golf carts, live band and a frickin’ tropical storm… Replaced with poopy diapers, cancer dog, a mortgage, and chickens… 

My how things have changed. And yet we wouldn’t trade it for the world.
