As I discussed in the fatherhood article the concept of the “Lucky One,” it was me tonight. 

We were coloring Easter Eggs today with some neighbors and a large bottle of white vinegar was purchased to make the coloring concoction.  They finished the eggs quickly and as I put the vinegar in the pantry I noticed the expiration date being in 2009 and promptly advised our family that we can use this for quite a few Easters. 

It is amazing what sticks to our memories, but since I was the Lucky One, I got to have the deep conversation with Christopher.  The last thing he said as he was drifting off to sleep was, “Does the vinegar really last until 2009?”  Maybe not all the conversations are deep and thought provoking, but at least they can be entertaining.
