Growing Older

I wish I had someone to teach me how gracefully to grow older.

One Woman Eccentricity

It was long after the midnight when my husband came to bed, all hopeful to finally get to sleep after the day of seeing people, arranging dinner and putting baby to sleep.
When I touch him on the shoulder, he still kindly turns and asks, "What is it?"
"Can we talk?"
"Now?"
"Well, yes. When I talk to you I get to know you better."
"Is it? Well, maybe you can talk to me while I sleep then?"

Hmm...that never occurred to me.
And I thought, "Maybe I should get to know myself better."
