It’s always fun to read those cute little stories kids write about their parents. I decided to see how much my kids could tell me about how their father and I met.
Here’s how they think it went…
How old were your mom and dad when they met each other?
Asher: (Shoulders raised) I don’t know.
Lukas: Mom was 30 when I was born. So, I don’t know. They never told me.
Eisley: Daddy was 20 and Mom was 21. (I was 19, he was 18.)
Where were your mom and dad when they met for the first time?
Asher: At a school.
Lukas: At a high school. But when they talked, it was at the library.
Eisley: At a school, in class. But when they talked, it was in the library. (Correct! We had a math class together at UNM Valencia, but we talked for the first time in the library.)
What did they say to each other?
Asher: Hello. How are you? (Sure thing!)
Lukas: What concert are you going to? (Correct!)
Eisley: I don’t know. Maybe they started talking about a concert that was going to happen. (Correct!)
How did your mom and dad know they had something special together?
Asher: I don’t know.
Lukas: Because they looked alike. (Haha! We look NOTHING alike.)
Eisley: Because daddy gave her that ring! (He gave me a ring the day after I met him-NOT a wedding ring. Who do you think I am? Princess Anna of Arendelle?)
Where were you when your mom and dad met for the first time?
Asher: I was at home. (Haha!)
Lukas: In Mom’s body.
Eisley: In Mom’s belly. I was a tiny speck. (Ten years before the twins were born. That is probably true.)
