"Why is Jimmy running around naked outside?" Anne asked.

Frank looked out the window behind Anne and groaned. "He said something about 'getting in touch with nature.'"

Anne's brow furrowed in worry, "Should we get him inside?"

Frank chuckled softly and shook his head at his wife. "You remember what happened last time? We live in the country, I say let him burn his energy."

"You're right," Anne sighed, "Would be easier to put him to bed."

She turned to her husband. "It's just a phase, right?"

"Of course," he brought her close and kissed her on the forehead. 

"Phases can last thirty years...right?"

Frank nodded into her hair and let his tear fall on her shoulder.
