It kills you to see them grow up.  But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn't.

Back when we were dating, my husband was in love with Alicia Silverstone. It was those Aerosmith videos that captured every teenage boys' fantasy. Who could blame him? We agreed that if he ever met her, and she agreed to sleep with him, it would be OK.

On the weekend my husband was getting dressed and watching Much Music. The video, Aerosmith's Crying, came on.

I said to my husband, "There's your ex-girlfriend."

My five year old's eyes lit up. "She was your girlfriend? Why'd you break up with her?"

My husband is so lucky. He is really a god in the eyes of our boys. I have to admit, I, too, find him amazing. He has his private pilot's licence, used to be a volunteer firefighter, plays the guitar and plays hockey. Plus he can fix almost anything. So I know he is a catch, but still - hero worship?

I was driving my son and his friend home from school a few days ago, and a song came on the radio.

"My dad used to play this song when he was a Rockstar."

What? Oh wait - it's from Guitar Hero!
