Aging

Filed under: Marriage — srose @ 8:33 pm

I was in the kitchen the other day singing

“You spin me right round

Baby right round

Like a record baby”

Kenny (who is used to me bouncing around like a human jukebox but never pleased when it happens) interrupted me.

“You know that song is not relevant today.” he said “No one knows what a record is.”

“I do.”  (At this point, I was a little indignant.)

“Yeah”, he agreed “but you’re old.”

Not sure how to take that.
