Fourteen

Can you believe I have a fourteen year old?

Really, where has it gone?
Sweet story for you- The girls and I were out for our weekly Walmart grocery trip. Paige had wandered off to look at something else as I got into a conversation with one of the employees. She told me of her 15 month old son, and then asked me how many children I had. I got the typical "Six!? Are you even old enough to have six?" response. "How old is your oldest?" It was the day after Paige's birthday, and I hadn't gotten used to saying I had a fourteen year old yet. "thir- uh, fourteen." "Is this your oldest?" She asked, pointing to Courtney. "No, she's my second oldest. My oldest is over there."
"Oh," she laughed, "She's your child? I thought she was your friend." Of course, this tickled me. So on our way home, I told her the story... "And she thought we were friends."

"Well," Paige said. "we are friends."
