Oldie but Goodie

Recently (at the wedding DM skipped out on) I saw my very first BFF from when I was about BigM's age. She and BigM actually share the same name (which incidentally I'm sure you have figured out is *not* BigM)- but their name is not the most common name. (No, I don't have a child named Sophie, Ava or Madison.) BigM is actually truly named after my mom- her maiden name.

We also realized that we live about 15 mins from each other, despite the fact that we haven't talked in at least 13 years. So we decided to schedule a playdate because she has 3 children and her youngest two are the same age as my mice. How's that for weird?

We arrived at their house and all the kids got down to business- her older boys and BigM started playing kitchen and airplanes and her youngest and LM were playing "That's MY sippy cup" and "I want to ride the ladybug scooter."

The kids got along beautifully and after awhile her oldest brought out his truck collection that his grandmother gave him. He looked at me and divulged in a hushed voice, "These trucks are REAL old. They're from the 1900's!"

I looked at my friend and said, "You realize we are too?"

I knew it was stupid to turn 30.
