Oh Boy –
@Jon – YOU
@Shruti – Yes – stay in the tunnel; it’s much more fun there. (I never came out)
@Angelastic – Great song. That was me too – had 2 older sisters pave the way and I learned from their mistakes: *Don’t do anything to piss off the parents!*
@BenS – You are doing everything right; your friends must not have it as good at their house.
@MitchO – Let me explain further: My sons (14 and 20) think I am super-cool. I know their music, their lingo, their points of view, their fears. They have great respect for my knowledge of music, my humor and my political passion. HOWEVER – when I am driving with their friends sitting in the back seat, if I can avoid overt bursts of singing or movement, it’s best. If I even TRY to “act” like I am “in the know,” they slink down in their seats. And the neat thing is, when I keep my mouth shut and pretend like I am not there, I learn all sorts of things. Their friends respect me too because I listen and don’t lecture. It’s their turn, in the big sense – It’s their generation who will shortly inherit the market place of ideas. I am not holding on to any illusions that my boomer generation did it best or knows best; we f…ed up loads of stuff . . . it’s their time now.
Oh yeah – hair is the least of your worries . . .
ETA @MT: Third thumbs run in my family too. Are we related?
