Okay–Cut the “old” talk, Becky. You know I was 14 when you were still a little girl.

Right on, Becky. I have known your ALL your life, and you are the PERFECT everything! Take it from one who knows.

“Auntie”

You are only as old as your attitude, I’m 10!

I’m older than you. I have no apps. I have nothing to app.

I don’t Twitter, I wear a watch (who WOULDN’T??) and I blog.

I don’t facebook.

I have no iPod.

Kindle? Had one for in-Russia conveniece. Dropped it. Didn’t replace it.

I buy cd’s and dvd’s.

I only have a DESKTOP and not a laptop. And I’m fine with that.

So…there. Old. -fashioned. ;>

I must be old too! I would never trade my books for a Kindle – I don’t care how cool it looks. I love my crowded bookshelves of books. I have to recount a funny story – so I am at a local paper store ordering thank you notes for baby Volluz when the 18 year old taking my order asks me if I am the grandmother! On the one hand, she did not notice that I had a beach ball under my shirt but seriously… a grandmother!

I’m sure I’m not old. And yet … they don’t make movies like they used to, with a plot you could understand. And the young people in these movies are always mumbling. And their music! Just sounds like caterwauling. And I don’t know WHAT they’re teaching them in the schools these days. And . . .

OK, I’ll just wait till the little whippersnappers join me next to my rocking chair on the porch, so I can tell them what life used to be like when you used to have to walk around alone all the time, out of touch with the intertubes. In the snow.

Eileen — an “80′s theme”? That would be MY daughters’ actual jr/hi school era. So, you may not be “old”. Becky is indeed getting old — but she’s not there yet. Yes, she is a good mom. Even a cool mom — as i am absolutely certain all her daughters’ friends would agree (even if her daughters wouldn’t admit it to her). Those are 4 really lucky girls.

I loved it when I read what you had written this afternoon and I love the responses because I relate to them all. Cooties and Charo……yep, I guess I fall into the “old” category but don’t we all have a great time. Old is just a state of mind and I’m NOT going there!!!! Have fun with those girls because they are what keep you young!

If you are old then I am ancient! Not sure I would last with all the loud music even though at “my” age some of the hearing is already deteriorated… you are a good mom and you have great girls!
