A Birthday Conversation with the Artful Mom

So the Artful Mom turned 67 on Tuesday. That is quite an achievement. I always find it amazing that she has been married to the Artful Dad for 42 years, so she has only spent a little over 1/3 of her life without him!

Me: "Happy Birthday, Mom!"

AM: "Thanks, sweetie. I wish you were here to celebrate with me!"

Me: "I wish I was there too. Did you get my card?"

AM: "Yes, I loved it!"

Me: "Are you and Dad doing anything special to celebrate your birthday?"

AM (keep in mind that my parents are, financially speaking, pretty well off by most standards): "YES! We are going to Chili's! I get a FREE DESSERT because it is my birthday!"

The Artful Parents rock.
