I Am So Uncool! Can You Believe It?

Embarrassing my teens is just a bonus from this uncool mom!

Good Morning,

When I was in grade school, I was the coolest kid ever! My dad worked for Hostess Cup cake and would bring in trays of Twinkies and other yummy treats. When I attended high school I mostly disappeared in the popularity of cheerleaders and football players. 

Now that I have teenagers, I have been given the label of uncool to the max. My daughters try not to bring this up too often but I seem to put myself into the mix more than I really want to.

Yesterday, in front of one of their friends, I was reading the newspaper and mentioned I saw an ad for a golf cart. I don't drive anymore but I toss around the idea of getting a golf cart to go places in the neighborhood. My kids looked horrified and although they have heard this from me before, acted as if I was an alien from space and rushed their friend out of the house.

I sat for a minute and thought, "Look at me, I just terrified my kids, good job!" I waited to feel guilty and I am still waiting. I will let you know when it happens! In the meantime, I am high on the uncool mom list and the smile hasn't left my face.
