Enjoying the little things in life

โ€œWe have to stop them.โ€ Mrs. P exclaimed.
โ€œWhy?โ€ Mr. P responded.
โ€œItโ€™s passed midnight! What if something happens?โ€
Mr. P shook his head.
โ€œAll that is going to happen is our son losing a couple of hours of sleep.โ€
โ€œBut-โ€œ
โ€œHeโ€™s just enjoying his summer nights with his friends. Nothing wrong with that. Donโ€™t worry so much.โ€
Mrs. P. looked forward and watched as her son ran and jumped into the lake with his friends. She could hear laughter and cries of glee.
โ€œI say we take advantage of this and do the same.โ€
Mrs. P stared at her husband confused. He went into the kitchen and returned with a wine bottle and two glasses.
โ€œItโ€™s time to enjoy our night.โ€ Mr. P announced as he poured red wine into the glasses. Mrs. P smiled taking his cue and turned the music on. The lights went low. Mr. P reached out for his wifeโ€™s hand, embraced each other and danced, reminiscing the time they first met.
โ€œOver twenty-five years together and still going strong.โ€ Mr. P said.
