Straddling the line of old and young


I am straddling the line of old woman and kid.

-For instance today I went to Toys R Us and bought a magic wand with magic sound for myself. I have played with it all day today. My husband has hidden it from me, he is tired of the magic sound and lights.

-I got pissy that some loud kids were talking in a movie theater.

-I know what the hell the Suite Life of Zach and Cody is thanks to my newly acquired little sister, and I hate it; but I watch it so often, I recognize the janitor guy doing a medicine commercial.

-I blog, but I listen to NPR when I do blog. My husband still doesn't understand the concept of talk radio, and why I am drawn to it. I love it, I can't help it. Old people love talk radio.

I love the magic wand story! I would completely buy one for myself, too...no, probably a doll...but still!

The wand is awesome. Seriously, I had that thing in my hand ALL DAY. Who knew a $5 toy had so much power. Now I need a tiara.

You are just being nice, how many people your age listen to talk radio?

We are having an FM Station boom in East Africa and there is talk radio for all ages. I guess Africans just love to talk.

I've listened to talk radio since forever, grew up on the cbc. I'm with C1 -- smart ppl listen to talk radio.

Age is... how long you've been alive. The rest is, how you chose to define it.

Girl, just wait that feeling gets even deeper and soon you would be the wise sage of your neighborhood!
This is what's old:
1) when your children tells you to stop dancing to their songs.It embarrasses them.
2)You can't stand going to clubs anymore because the music is too loud and the other patrons are too young.
3)The cute trendy clothes look awful when you wear them...but it feels good to wear 'Mom' jeans
I have more but I need more gingko biloba to remember them!

True superjv. I just don't want to end up being the old lady that dresses to young and hangs out at the club chasing after the young boys.
