Tact vs. Pre-Teen
Scene: Group of 10 year olds leaving our house, as their moms picked them up after a gathering
Action: One mom hugs her daughter as she greets her at the door
Killer One-Liner (heard by all): "Geez, Mom- you *need* to pluck your chin hairs!!!"
Audience: Silence (out of respect to said Mom) then all-out hilarious laughter...
Note to Self: You are *not* ready to be the parent of a teenager!

Hi Dawn, I had to LOL at this one. I finally realized as I reach middle-age and need (gulp) bifocal contact or reading glasses that the irony is that just as you start being able to no longer *see* - you also start to *sprout* hair in places where it never was - AND guess what? You *can't* see it! So, those teens might come in handy - at least on the beauty front someday soon when I am totally blind! Thanks for the funny. Cari
omg - too much!!! these girls are growing up way to fast!
i think of you and miss e all the time - my r is startin to ask about contacts! and i *know* she needs braces!
finally - we had chapter one of "the girl talk" yesterday - not as bad as i expected...but i can't believe we are so there. now that we'v e talked i finally said yes to her reading 'are you there god it's me margaret!"
hoep you are having a good weekend!
Amy- What book are you using (if it's a book)? I need to do that!!!
LOL about "Are you there..". Emily happened to pick that up from the library when she was in *SECOND GRADE*, and I didn't notice until she was 80% of the way through it... I guess I owe Judy Blume for Chapter One! ;)
Oh, the poor mom! *sigh* I'm so glad I have more than twelve years before I have a teenager! :)
i will e you the name of the book - but it is american girl.
just have to get it from my girl.
Ack! I am terrified! LOL
