As you get older, you like to brag firats about your spouse, then your kids, then finally your grandkids (not there yet). Even a lot of single people like to brag about their pets or their cars.
I have been married 15 years as of today to my wonderful wife. I have a 12 year old daughter and and 8 year old son. They are both very bright in the high abilities class at their schools. Unfortunately we have two pet chihuahuas and a cat.
I am a blessed man.
