Last night to be nice I took the little one and 3 friends roller skating. It turned out to be the longest ride of my life. The things that 11 and 12 year old kids talk about make no sense at all. One crazy thing was about eyelashes made from fake feathers, makeup, and all the way to the best eyelash growth products. One kid keep saying how long her eyelashes were even when they were not talking about that any more. I don’t think I will ever understand why at this age they are worried about stupid things like that. I remember when I was their age we talked about Barbie dolls. We didn’t care how we looked. I think I need to look into good ear plugs because I don’t what to hear what they talk about, or even listen to their music. The price I pay to be the nice parent. When you were this age what did you and your friends talk about?
When our daughter was christened we asked some people to be her godparents. I have always thought the godparents were supposed to be around, and also be very involved in the lives of the children they were godparents of. For the most part our daughter knows her godmother and godfather, but she never really sees them. I don’t even recall her getting any gifts like they have out from them to her. Some sign of their feelings would have been nice. I have seen many nice things that I never received as a child from my godparents. Things like the godson gifts, and goddaughter gifts that you see in stores that specialize in gifts of this type.
I wonder if I made a bad decision when we chose her godparents. What do you think?

I have often wondered why things are named what they are. There are many things that seem backwards, or even wrong.
Check out two of these words and tell me what you think…
- ladies teddies: There is nothing snuggly about teddies themselves. You may get some snuggling, but not from the outfit.
- computer mouse: Mice move on their own and are scary to some people.
- bathroom: A bathroom isn’t just for bathing… It can have a shower, toilet, bathtub, or any combination of these.
- driveway & parkway: You park in the driveway, and drive on the parkway.
