Role Reversal

How odd this is- me watching the clock because she can't see it any more and telling my mother it's her bedtime.

"And so the whirligig of time brings in its revenges."

I remember the fun I had with my father after I moved in with him when he was 80 and my mother had just died. He got himself a lady friend at one point and was out VERY late one evening. I put my bathrobe on and stood by the entrance door, tapping my foot, arms folded just for the pleasure of saying to him, "And what do you think you're doing coming in at THIS time of night?"

That's sweet.

That would strike me as odd, too.

I'm not looking forward to having my kids send me to bed. :(
