Forever Young

A Christmas card from my dad's cousin Flossie, advised me to "have your children while you're young."
Flossie lives in Lower Wedgeport, Nova Scotia, my grandmother's home town, where many of my cousins (several times removed) are lobster fishermen and all of them are cut-throat cribbage players. My parents visit every year but it's been a while since I've been there which could explain why Flossie doesn't remember that it's about ten years too late for me to heed her wise advice.
They say though that having children keeps you young. If that's the case I should be twice as young next month, despite my birthday, than I am right now.
