I was chatting with Jaimito and Javier in the car this evening and we were talking about the feelings of love and new relationships. I mentioned a relationship I had that fizzled out because it went too fast. I remarked that with Laura it took two and a half years for there to be a spark. It was a slow burn.
Jaimito piped up, “It’s like good ribs.”
I paused, not quite getting it.
“Daddy, good ribs are cooked slow and low. So true love is like good ribs.”
We all rolled. “Jaimito, that’s going in my blog. Truer wisdom has never been spoken.”
