Sobering

Yesterday in a rehearsal at church, I was leading a group of junior-high kids. My son Peter plays in the ensemble, as well as a handicapped child who tends to say whatever comes to mind. The two boys were standing together, and got into quite a conversation after Peter forgot and called me "Mom" instead of "Mrs. Stahlke."

"Peter, is she your Mom?"

"Yes, she is."

"She's too old to be your Mom."

"That's because I'm adopted."


In the year that Peter was born, I was 42 years old. So I guess this "older Mom" shouldn't be surprised!
