O/T Sixteen year old boys

 Just wanted to share with you.  While cleaning out my closet this weekend, I came across a box of old photos.  One picture in particular caught my attention.  It was a picture of me and my best friend when we were sixteen years old (in the seventies).  Of course, I thought I was fat back then, I weigh about 120 lbs. and wore a junior size 9.  All my friends were 100 lb. skinnies.  I could not help but admire my skinny legs in that mini dress, they really looked awesome.  I showed the picture to my sixteen year old son and asked him if he knew who that was.  After a moment, he said, I think that is you?  I say, your right, mama didn't look half bad back then.  He comment, "I wasn't sure at first, I didn't think they made color photos back then."  "I now know why we sometimes eat our young".......

Only one thing to say - think Jethro & NCIS - Head smack

 He was steadily backing out the door when he made the comment.  Good thing too!

I still get remarks like that from my 23 yr old son.  Don't you just love them. 

Tess,
I had something similar happen.  I met my husband when I was 16 yrs. old. We were at someone's wedding and had a nice picture taken.  Needless, to say that picture got put away for many years.  My daughter was married 6 yrs. ago and somehow my husband and I had a picture taken, the same way, as we did 35 yrs. ago, same pose, side by side, same smile, etc.  When my 25 yr. old smart a$$ son, saw the pictures side by side.  He said WOW, it looks like you guys melted!  I could have killed him!!!
