Kids these days

So the other day we’re in the car.

Daughter: “Where are the groceries?”

Me: “They’re in the trunk.”

Daughter: “What is trunk?”

Me: “mm.. in the way back.”

My kids have no memory of a car with a trunk. We’ve had a hatchback or a minivan their entire lives.

And I’m feeling old.

Thud.

So sorry, y’all, having a bit of a time right now. But here’s something to distract all of us momentarily. Shamelessly lifted from Busy Mom’s blog… (she said it was OK)

  1. Name someone with the same birthday as you. Eric Clapton.
  2. Where was your first kiss? Probably at church during a youth group dance. I think.
  3. Have you ever seriously vandalized someone else’s property? Nothing that couldn’t be fixed. Or washed off.
  4. Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex? Does football count?
  5. Have you ever sung in front of a large number of people? I was once in a stage production of ‘Grease,’ and yes, they made me sing. After years of therapy I think my fellow cast has come out of this experience stronger.
  6. What’s the first thing you notice about your preferred sex? I prefer noticing them.
  7. What really turns you off? Kids banging on the door. Wait, what?
  8. What do you order at Starbucks? Coffee. Cheapest they have. Not that I go there much.
  9. What is your biggest mistake? That whole ‘being born’ thing at the moment.
  10. Have you ever hurt yourself on purpose? Not unless you count getting really, really drunk.
  11. Say something totally random about yourself. I’m nearsighted.
  12. Has anyone ever said you looked like a celebrity? Not that I can remember.
  13. Do you still watch kiddie movies or TV shows? All. the. time.
  14. Did you have braces? oh yes.
  15. Are you comfortable with your height? Yes.
  16. What is the most romantic thing someone of the preferred sex has done for you? Taken care of me when I was sick.
  17. When do you know it’s love? When they don’t leave.
  18. Do you speak any other languages? No. I should probably learn some Spanish, and tried 20 years ago with some language tapes, but nada.
  19. Have you ever been to tanning salon? You’re kidding, right?
  20. Have you ever ridden in a limo? yes, a couple times.
  21. What’s something that really annoys you? People that ask too many questions.
  22. What’s something you really like? Free beer.
  23. Can you dance? Not to save my life.
  24. Have you ever been rushed by an ambulance into the emergency room? Yes. At least I hope they rushed, considering how much I paid for the ride.
  25. Tag 5 people! Tag, you’re it!
