Today Caleb is home sick. He has been sick since Thursday evening, but I think we are on the road to recovery. He feels almost good as new, he just is not fully recovered yet.
He's taking it easy lying on the couch watching tv. He's watching Cars. I'm not sure what part of the movie he is at, but it triggered a question from him. Our conversation went something like this.
Caleb: Mom when were you born?
Me: 19...
Caleb: Really?
Me: Yes. When did you think I was born?
Caleb: I don't know, the 1950s maybe?
Me: Okay.
Caleb: Back in the 19s, did they have color?
Me: Yes.
Caleb: Oh. I thought they might have had just grey back then. I didn't know they had color.
I really never expected to have this conversation with any of my children. I honestly thought that it only happened in a Calvin and Hobbes strip. I can now say that this really does happen and more frequently than most people think. As for myself, I think I need a nice long, hot shower. And to maybe find something that makes me feel young again!
