Magic Number 32

Me: I once had someone tell me my fortune. I didn't want her to, but she was a relative and before I realized what she was doing, she gave me good news and bad news from reading my palm.
Friend: What was the good news?
Me: That I would live a good life.
Friend: What was the bad news?
Me: That my life would end at age 32.
Friend: Is that why you don't want to have kids?

Huh. It was very difficult to actually hear a deep-seated fear voiced out loud. I had given several reasons in a previous post why I don't want to have kids; I still stand by all my reasons. But, this latest reason was one that I did not tell anyone, not even to my husband. Mainly because I don't believe in fortune-telling, but it's kind of hard to ignore when someone tells you that you are going to die sooner than later. I can only hope that my aunt is wrong.

In approximately, two more years I will find out if my aunt is right.
