you will still love me-when im 64.

A closer look.

play this as you read....


I joined my parents on their nightly walk tonight. It was quite wonderful. I listened as they told me stories I've already heard a million + 1 times. I listened as they burst out in song randomly throughout the hour. I listened as their feet were perfectly synchronized with each other's.
At one point, my dad told us he was going to live until he was 180. My mom gasped as said, "why would you want to live til then? It's going to be so lonely without any of us here.." My dad then responded with a compromise, "Fine, 120." My mom responded with, "No, you can live until you are 88."

My dad is definitely the idealist.
My mom is more of a realist.

I def. inherited my dad's personality genes.
although, I'm realizing how dangerous it is to be an idealist.
but I have hope that I will not become as jaded as those around me.
...

At another point in the walk, I really felt like I was in a musical.
Mom asked my dad "should we walk this way?"
Dad: "Wherever you want...I will follow you..."
*que singing
Dad(singing): I will follow youuuuu
Mom joins in and harmonizes with my dad. This musical number lasts about 5 minutes.

I also inherited my parents' love of randomly busting out in song.

My dad then shamed me for being an American who has not watched Gone With the Wind. He told me to watch it tonight.
