Is Emma 7 or 13

Emma has spent the last few days at home not feeling well. Her ears and throat have bugged her off and on and she's had a fever off and on. She feels great one minute and terrible (her word) the next. This morning I woke up with a headache, took a few Tylenol, and went back to watch tv in my bed. After half an hour or so I realized Emma was really quiet so I went to find her. I found her laying in her bed listening to her music with a very grim expression on her face. Knowing that she has not been feeling well I immediately asked if there was something wrong but she turned and said no, she was just relaxing and listening to her music. I kind of chuckled to myself because it really reminded me of "ME" when I was around 12 or 13. I remember laying in my bed with my headphones on listening to Depeche Mode sullen and brooding! She wasn't sullen or broody but just listening to her music and relaxing, which makes me happy because looking back I wonder why I felt like that. Teenage hormones I guess. More and more I see her growing up. I wonder if she will be a terror at times as a teenager or if we will stay as close as we are now. At times I see how fast time is really moving and wish it would slow down but love that she is growing up and developing into such a terrific kid. The scene this morning hit me kind of funny just because I realized that in no time at all she will be thirteen and most likely exactly like her mother at that age. It all goes to fast doesn't it? Heck my mom says she's still 19, not that she feels, looks, moves, or acts like she's 19 but in her heart she's still that age and her oldest grand kid is about to turn 12 in a few days. I guess the adage is true...Time waits for no one!
