Staying young and growing old

I was visiting outside the other day with our neighbor. A mother from a couple doors down, whom I have not met yet, came over to visit as well. We did the usual small talk getting-to-know you introductions. I asked her about how many children she had. She responded, "you must have children as well. I have seen a teenage boy running around." I about died laughing! "Oh you mean a tall blonde boy," I replied. "That is my husband, Ryan." She was mortified, but I couldn't resist the urge to cry. It was hilarious!
This isn't the first time he has had this type of reaction. Many of his clients often question his age. Sometimes I think he wears a tie and suit to work everyday to look that much older. But I love him because he is staying young. As the years pass he never changes. I can't wait for the years to come and watch him stay young and grow old with me.
Here is a movie quote/song that sums up our future:
[Billy Idol (Speaking):] Good afternoon everyone.
We're flying at 26, 000 feet, moving
Up to thirty thousand feet, and then we've got clear skies
All the way to Las Vegas, and right now we're bringing you some in-flight
Entertainment. One of our first-class passengers would like to sing you a song
Inspired by one of our coach passengers, and since we let our first-class
Passengers do pretty much whatever they want, here he is.

[Robbie Hart (Singing):]
I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
Oh all I wanna do is grow old with you

I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you

I'll miss you
Kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold

Need you
Feed you
Even let ya hold the remote control

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink
I could be the man who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you
