In Defiance of All Odds

I would like to give a quick shout out to my parents, fondly known as the 'rents ,who today celebrate their 42nd wedding anniversary.

My parents have the greatest, meet-cute story of all time. They were high school sweethearts. Even better, they had to sit alphabetically, which meant my father end up sitting directly behind my mother in class. He used to pick up her chair on his knees and move it around during class to annoy her. [sigh] Boys.

When they were in college, my Mom went to the Women's College and my Dad went to State. He used to hitch-hike to go see her on the weekends. They married at 21, right out of college.

Since my parents have beaten the odds, I'm fairly sure sis and I are screwed.
