Twenty-ten!

Once upon a time, a sweet baby boy was born.

As the years went by, he became an adorable first grader…

…and an award-winning cow handler.

Eventually he became a college graduate,

and then he became a cancer patient – and then a cancer survivor.

And because he had found the lovely love of his life, he became a husband.

Not too long after that, by the grace of God, he became a father.

Just a few months later, he became a physician (and then he became an intern!)

A few more years went by. The man became a father again,

and then he became a thirty-year-old. And he lived happily ever after.

*When Jonas counts by rote, he gets his numbers perfectly up through 29. Next, he says, “Twenty-ten!” And I say, “No, next is thirty.” And he says, “Okay, thirty. 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, thirty-ten.” And I say, “No, next is forty.” And so forth and so on.
