tadpole

aimee and i were talking the other day.
the great thing about having a generation 
or so
 between us is perspective
a gift we both give the other in friendship
she said,
"i was like a tadpole then"
still not a tadpole, about 15 years ago
(from the refrigerator)
we were talking about being 18
that's when i married
these two came along in my late 20s. 
still a tadpole.
still trying to grow up
