Oh gosh, I didn't mean at all that you thought there would be emotional differences in your marriage, what I wrote didn't come out right. I was just remembering my first true love and realizing that it is the scars we carry that make us the most whole. :) Here in New Mexico, wherever they have those little bubblegum machines in restaurants and in stores, the kind you put in a quarter or two and get a big gumball or perhaps some stickers, they have MUSTACHE MACHINES! I kid you not. They are everywhere! They are stocked by a Mexican company, and all of the mustaches have a name associated with a famous Latino villian/hero/star. You can maybe "win" the Pancho Villa! The Castro! The Escobar! 50 cents for a stick-on mustache. When my youngest son, now 15, was yet younger, he had quite the collection.
Mustache machines? I think New Mexico just bumped itself up a few notches higher on my list of states that I should visit. I love that your son had a collection of mustaches, how wonderful.
