The Incredible Shrinking Couple

Yesterday Anna went for a bone density test. She said she lost 3 inches. She said she is 3 inches shorter than she used to be. But after talking about it with her mother, she may have only lost 2 inches. It seemed she may have not been as tall as she thought.

On my physical this summer I found I lost 2 inches.

So, at least we are shrinking together.

And it won’t be no time until we won’t look strange playing in the toys aisles at Target, which we probably did yesterday. Anna is invited to baby shower next week and after buying the upcoming baby a gift she wanted to give the 8 year old boy member of the household a gift to, so he wouldn’t feel left out. We spent a while in the toy aisles at Target trying out different toys, trying to find the right suitable toy.

It is hard to put yourself in the frame of mind of a 8 year old and try to outguess yourself on what you would like to play with……. But somehow we do well at it.

HA! I have shrunk 1" so far and so has mr. kenju, although he refused to believe it when I measured him. He was certain that I had measured wrongly. He is in denial!

It was nice of Anna to remember the 8 year old too.

Judy,
Yes it was nice of Anna. Thank you. The 8 year old boy is having problems at the moment. His father has left his mother for another woman. The boy's mother was Anna's co-worker. The shower will be for the oldest son's upcoming baby.
