PINT-SIZED CYNIC

It was our 28th wedding anniversary the other day. Maddy, 5, still hung over from an exciting, colorful Christmas with all kinds of celebrating, gift-giving and travel, wasn’t quite up to speed on what was going on.

She noticed the cards on the kitchen table and saw that the grandparents had sent a gift and some flowers. Both parents were scurrying around making preparations because we were having people over for a dinner party to help celebrate. In this day and age, long-time marriage is something you SHOULD celebrate, we believe. It’s kind of like watching Halley’s Comet.

“It’s Mom and Dad’s anniversary,” one of her older sisters told Maddy.

“What’s the big deal?” she replied.

Well, think about it. There were no presents in it for HER. . . .
