Kids Today

I was very busy this morning talking to my BFFAEAEAEAE, Brittany, about how kids today are super spoiled.

We also discussed how waxing is a business expense, and we died from LOLs as how awesome our “jobs” have turned out.

ThrillerEven though Brittany is a whole 1/2 a decade younger than me, she, too, grew up listening to Huey Lewis and the News’ Fore! on vinyl. We both also had the album version of Michael Jackson’s Thriller, complete with the fold-out white tiger.

You know, back in the days when young, impressionable girls thought Michael Jackson was cute and totally dateable.

I also admitted to learning I Am the Walrus off of a record player. We were pretty much the coolest 80s kids ever.

The first cassette tape I owned was Michael Jackson’s Off the Wall, and the first cassette tape I bought on my own from the record store at the mall was INXS Kick.

I owned the first CD player in our house—15th birthday present—and the first CD I owned was C+C Music Factory.

Kids today won’t have a first record, a first tape, or a first CD. Our kids already have their own disconnected iPhones full of music “borrowed” from our iTunes accounts.

HOW LAME IS THAT?

There’s just some things that come along and leave me speechless.

For instance, Mr. Gandy:

David Gandy

Like that Parker Hurley even exists:

Parker Hurley Rope Climb

And that my sister felt this way: Her Little Sister

Angie Jackie

All three of the above make my eyes leak with love. You suck.

My Kind Of Kid Rearing Is Not Fancy

April 22, 2013 All About Me

Those crazy people at Graco want you to believe that if you use their products (which I used), your life and living room will be beige and pretty like this one: In reality, this is what raising babies looks like: Graco also wants you to think this is what your baby’s play dates will look [...]

Death, And Not The Fun Kind

April 17, 2013 Being Mom

I know the whole “everyone deals with death in different ways” adage is true, and I trust it. I just don’t know how to deal with my daughter’s way of dealing with death. Luckily, I didn’t have to experience death in my life as a kid. As an adult, I’ve (expectedly) lost grandparents, (not expectedly) [...]

Cure For Wrinkles: Face Fat

April 12, 2013 All About Me

My contribution to last night’s Last Call with Brittany was suggest that the best way to reduce face wrinkles is to gain weight. Basically, I’m a nincompoop. Also, my hair was in tip-top form. Also also, my face is very expressive apparently. Also also also, I had to get up three times to do things [...]
