There are many things that happen through the coarse of your life that tells you, your getting old. Yelling at some one for touching the thermostat, a creaking knee or mentioning that some young punk is driving like a maniac are all things that happen to us that give us pause and make us shake our head and mutter, "I'm getting old." The other day at dinner however, one hit me that I never expected. While dining at a nice restaurant my daughter was being particularly good. Sitting in her seat and eating her food without too much trouble, when out of the blue she started singing. Now Ainsley loves to sing and to tell you the truth she is pretty good, when she doesn't confuse volume for passion. But what she was singing made both my wife and I laugh and ask her about the song.
Ainsley broke into a perfect rendition of the Human League's "Don't you want me, Baby" complete with the Oooohs and everything. When we asked where she heard that she calmly replied, "It was on a cookie commercial." After a chuckle, I had a sudden flashback to my parents playing a Beachboys song and me saying, "hey that's the Sunkiss commercial."
Well Thankfully it was only Human League, I mean the day they my daughter starts singing REM or Barenaked Ladies and telling me it's a soda commercial then I'll know I'm getting old.
