One year, like many other women, my mom reached an age at which she decided, “That’s it; I don’t want to get any older.”
“From now on,” she announced, “I am going to turn 26 every year.”
That May, my younger sister made her First Holy Communion, and at one of the rehearsals, the nun went around asing all the kids to give their parents’ ages (looking back, none of us can understand why the nun needed to know this information). Little Sister hopped into the car after practice and proudly told my mom, “The nun wanted to know how old you were, but don’t worry—I told her that you are always 26.”
This year, to celebrate another one of my mom’s 26th birthdays, we went to Genghis Grill, which offered my mom a free bowl for her birthday.

Wow, your parents look young! Your dinner looks good!
Your parents look so happy! And you’re gorgeous. 😀
Aww, that’s cute. A few years ago my great aunt decided that every year instead of having a birthday she’d have an “un-birthday” and get a year younger instead of a year older. 🙂 Hope your mom had a nice 26th birthday. 😉
Aww your parents always seem so adorable! I hope your mom had a good birthday and that restaurant seems really good as well 🙂
Happy Birthday to your mom! Your folks look fantastic.
