I ran into an old friend this weekend. Hadn’t seen her in years. We did the obligatory “So, what are all your kids up to these days” kind of catch-up.
“And what about your son?” she asked as I finished bullet-pointing children one and two’s accomplishments.
“She’s a daughter now.”
“Oh, that’s nice. You have all girls.”
“Yup, she just started grad school.”
“Cool, what’s her field? Mine just finished a Masters in Chemistry.”
I’ve had a warm glow all weekend.
