Real, Funny Life Stories We had our ten-year-old daughter late in life, long after our boys were born. She is the joy of my husband's life, but he is self-conscious about being an older father. He likes to jokingly tell people that by the time she graduates from high school, he'll be in a nursing home.
One day she asked, "Mom, you know how Dad always says he'll be in a home by the time I graduate?" I nodded, expecting some sad question about mortality. "Can I have the car then?" - Terri Grey, Hemet, CA.
I hadn't fully realized how much everyone in a small town knows everyone else's business until I moved back in with my husband after a short separation. Included in my mail one day was an envelope forwarded from my prior address. Instead of affixing an official change-of-address sticker, someone wrote on the other side of the envelope, "She moved back." - Joann Vogel, Evanston, WY.
Never having learned to ride a bicycle as a child, I finally decided to do it in my late twenties. My boyfriend, David, offered to teach me, and we headed to the park for my first lesson. He held on to the seat as I wobbled down the path. My self-consciousness was just beginning to disappear when when I saw a father, teaching his little daughter how to ride a bike, approaching. As we passed, I was mortified when David said to the dad, "They grow up so fast, don't they?" - Jackie Snyder, Montclair, NJ.
As part of a cooking demonstration I was attending at a large auditorium, the host awarded gifts to people in the audience who had traveled the farthest, the couple who had been married the longest, and so on. Holding up one item, he asked, "Is there anyone here who has been married less than one month?" At first the room was silent. Then from the back someone called out, "Which time?" - James Baker, Williamsburg, VA.
I had just moved to an address between Sunset Avenue and Sunrise Boulevard, one of Sacramento's major streets, and was explaining to a clerk where my home address was located for billing purposes. "I live between Sunrise and Sunset," I told her. "Oh, honey," she knowingly replied, "we all do."
