On Aging

I was tying Brendan's shoes when he suddenly grabbed my face in both of his hands. With the utmost concern, he says, "Mommy! You have cracks by your eyes. Is your face breaking or something!??"

After I stopped laughing, I realized that the true fountain of youth -- whether it removes the wrinkles that alarmed Brendan so much or not -- is being around a child. My boy has such an innocent, refreshing take on life.
