I'm getting old!

Tonight as we were preparing dinner, Jessica said, "Daddy, my fingers are turning colors!" Daddy asked her why, and she responded, "It means I'm getting old!" It's actually the result of wearing a cheap ring on her finger. See pic.


A little while later, the fake pearl on the fake gold ring broke off--darn, we had to throw the ring away. She was disappointed but understood. I (Tami) explained to her that it was the ring that had turned her finger green because it wasn't real gold and that real gold wouldn't do that to her.
A true sign of getting old might be the white (not gray, even, but WHITE) hair my husband pulled out of my head today. Oh, well! It happens to the best of us! :-)
