Until you lose your hair. But you don’t care.”

Last weekend I got a little taste of life on the other side of the generation gap.
I was in Laguna for this retreat my parents were holding for some military families, and was one of the oldest “kids” there [the oldest being my sister]. Because my mother kept insisting that I should make an effort to be sociable, I made myself look busy by sitting with my sister, who was socializing with some [obviously younger] girls.
Check out the dialogue:
Girl1: “OMG, you’re turning fourteen this year.”
Girl2: “Yeah, so are you.”
Girl1: “But you’ll be first. You’re sooo old.”
Me: *blank face*

Quote for the day:
“But when I think about leaving,
I think about losing
The only love I’ve ever known
Every time I think of you
My heart starts aching
My hands keep shaking
And you know, you know, you know…
It would take a strong, strong [girl]
To ever let you go.”

Remember freshman year?
Out of tens of thousands of suitors, she picked you. Yes, you.
