I know I have already used the above picture, but something happened over the weekend and this phrase took on a new meaning. Sitting around on the couch relaxing, ipad in my hand, everyone else gazing into their iphone, laptop. Quiet family bonding time. I made the statement that I wanted to be an event planner. Chuckling came from the other side of the couch. Then in a little girl sounding impression came: "I want to be an event planner when I grow up"
What did that mean, I thought. She is making fun of me!!!! I glanced over at my youngest and said in a displeasing voice- "what! you think I am too old?" Yeesssss, in a condescending voice.
Do you think it's too late for me? There was that Yeessss again. Wind was out of my sails.
Kids, they say the darndnest things! I think the little brat needs a spanking! Wow.... I better grow up fast, life is passing me by!
It's your turn now! Go for it!!!! Remember all those times when our children didn't listen to us? Now its our turn to ignore them!!! I say go for it and set an example of what wisdom, and living a good life can bring to the table!! If "you" do it I can claim "I know that girl"!
