Forever 29

Me:  (Examining my eyes and their accompanying wrinkles in the vanity mirror while in the car with John) "I think I need to get a better anti-aging eye cream.  The one I've been using is doing nothing for my crows feet"

John:  *grunts*

Me:  "Really Honey.  Avon has an eye cream that claims to take five years off your face"

John:  *grunts*

Me:  "I could stand to loose five years off my face.  I wonder how old I'd look.  Honey, how old do I look"

John:  (not looking at me) "You look 29"

Me:  "Really?  Do I really look 29?  Are you just saying that because you know that's what I want to hear?"

John:  "No, I'm saying you look 29 because that's how old you are"

Me:  *silence*

John:  (looks at me) "what?"

Me:  "I'm not 29"

John: "You're not?'

Me:  "no, I'm not"

John:  "Oh yea, you did turn 30 didn't you?"

Me: "Yes, while I was pregnant with Max.  I'm turning 31 next month."

John:  "Oh"

Me:  "So do I still look 29?"

John:  "um..."

Me:  "Never mind.  Yes. I'm 29."
