I Am Thirty One Decades Older for 26 Days
A humorous meditation on a wife aging for 26 days before her husband’s birthday each year. The piece notes 14 of 100 wives marry younger men, and mocks trivia battles about who Lincoln was with or whether Scarlett’s baby in Gone with the Wind was a boy or girl. It blends social critique with light self mockery and a word puzzle paragraph.
