A Wrinkle in Time
A Wrinkle in Time
* Thank you to all our veterans in America. We deeply appreciate your service! *
My husband and I both look very young for our ages. In fact,
we've hardly aged a day since we first laid eyes on each
other in college -- at least, that's what we tell each other. But
our children have a way of bringing us crashing back to earth.
Recently, my husband and I were discussing a man who was
running for public office.
"He's a Vietnam vet," commented my husband.
"What's that?" queried our young daughter.
Trying to answer the question in terms a four-year-old could
readily grasp, my husband replied, "Well, honey, that means
that the man fought in a war that happened when Mommy and
Daddy were little."
Our daughter regarded us both thoughtfully for a moment,
then asked, "So, was he a Viking?"
