Today is my birthday, and the answer depends on who in my family you might ask.
My hubby, the only one I did ask, gave an answer that any woman would want to hear – which is why I saved it for last.
Hypothetically, my family would answer this way:
Michael, the Ancient Languages grad student, would say:
On this day two score and six years ago, Béla was thirty-three years old when his wife Sári bore him his fourth child. And they named her Ilona.
Joey, the Math major, would compute:
My mom is 29 x 2 – (3×4).
Jonathan, the Youth Ministries major, would answer:
My mom’s past forty, but hey, she should have fun anyway.
Katie, the 11 yr.old type A female in the family, would say (to me):
Mom, you’re not old. But it is time to color your hair; your gray roots are showing.
And my dear hubby replied singing a George Jones country song:
Your lips stay young and tender just the way they used to be; and because it’s you with your love so true, you’ll never grow old to me.
You’re always warm as the sunshine when I hold you tenderly; and because it’s you with your love so true, you’ll never grow old to me.
And as the world grows old around you, I’ll look back and see; because it’s you with your love so true, you’ll never grow old to me.
Any you’ll never grow o-o-o-ld to me!
Country ain’t so bad after all, though I’d still opt for a new Andrea Bocielli i-Tunes download. (hint hint to my three sons).
Happy Birthday. What a sweet post. I’m glad I check into your blog today. I love the song your husband quotes! I just turned 50-3, so it sounds good to me!
Olive – Happy belated b-day to you too!
Happy belated Birthday Ilona! What sweet post! You and my older daughter share the same birthdate! She turned 10+1 this year! She celebrated by getting baptized in the water at The Ramp in Alabama!
Wow, that’s great! Tell her Happy belated B-day from me! 😉
Happy belated birthday. I enjoyed this post. Mike knows he has the best wife in the world.
Thanks Nancy. And if he ever forgets, I’ll remind him of what you said. haha! I trust you are well.
Ahhh…good job Mike! 🙂 Happy birthday Ilona! I really hope you’re having a fun weekend! God bless you!
