What\u2019s worse she did it in front of thirty or forty people who attended the wedding shower our church held for both our children and their sweethearts.<\/p>\n<p>Her motives were pure, even noble, as she answered this query written by one of the shower goers (as instructed by the shower planners) for the Q &amp; A portion of the party: What have you learned by observing your parents\u2019 marriage?<\/p>\n<p>Anne had time to think about her answer, because Allen answered first. He said something about learning how spouses balance one another out, citing Hiram\u2019s spare use of words compared to the bucket loads I fling with abandon. I don\u2019t remember exactly what he said as I was talking to someone at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Next, Anne\u2019s sweetie answered, describing how he had learned the importance of sacrifice from his mother.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the daughter opened her mouth. \u201cI learned that love changes how you look at people.\u201d She explained further. \u201cMost of you know my parents and that they\u2019re nice-looking but they\u2019re never going to be super models. Still, sometimes they look at each other with googly eyes, like the other one is the best-looking person on earth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If anyone other than the daughter had said we weren\u2019t super models, I wouldn\u2019t have believed what I heard. But over the years the daughter has proven to be the most perceptive and honest person in my life. So what she says must be true. And if the man of steel and I are not super model material, we must rethink the future.<\/p>\n<p>Throw out my dream of usurping Sally Fields as the queen of Boniva.<br \/>\nNix Hiram\u2019s five year plan for becoming the new Rogain spokesman.<br \/>\nStop honing our electric-motor-cart-driving-while-looking-youthful skills.<br \/>\nChuck the fake smiles while eating All Bran in hopes of becoming geriatric cereal models.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll have to rely on something other than our non-existent good looks if we want to be useful during our twilight years. I\u2019m thinking about building a googly eye factory in the back yard, since we\u2019re pretty good at making them even if raw materials are in short supply. When it\u2019s time to mount an advertising campaign we\u2019ll hire the kids and their sweethearts as super models. From what I observed this past weekend, they\u2019re pretty good at making googly eyes, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday, the daughter dashed any hopes Hiram and I entertained about becoming super models.
