i think that something is wrong. i think that i might have lost something. maybe within the last 5-8 years. let me explain:
the other day the weather was finally warm and we could actually drive with the windows down. i decided to leave the kids with garran and go get the van washed and cleaned out. (that is one of my secret pleasures..a clean car!!) anyways i took out all the car seats and headed to the car wash. as i was driving i decided to roll down the windows and turn up the music. i was singing along having fun and even thinking to myself that having warm weather made me feel so much better. it made me feel more energetic and just better in general. so i pull up to the car wash and get everything cleaned and ready to go. as i am leaving i roll the windows back down and turn the radio back up. (by the way, just for the record i wasn't listening to "oldies", i was listening to music that is popular now) so i pull up to the light which happens to be next to a burger king. i am singing along and sadly dancing too. all of a sudden i look over and there is a group of about 5-6 teenage girls. i am guessing they were about 14-15 years old. anyways they were laughing at me and suddenly a very real realization hit me...
i am a mom of three, DRIVING A MINI VAN, and i just might not be cool anymore.
could this have really happened. could i have lost my cool somewhere in the last few years or should i just chalk it up to teenagers can be mean... even that makes me sound old=)

You are still cool...just not as cool as you used to be. And when you get caught rockin' out to Hannah Montana (and you know all the words and think she is pretty funny) then you know your day has come. Not that I would know anything about that. :)
Whatever! When they are old enough to know what is actually cool the teenagers will be laughing at them. :)
I still think you are cool=)
I think 12-18 yr olds are most decidedly uncool, so whomever rises above the juvenile attitudes is cool. BTW, that makes you cool and them lame.
Um...You're the coolest big sister...EVER!!!
Just think of that saying from Fried Green Tomatoes - honey, you've got a lot more insurance than they do!
Are you kidding me? I'll bet you ROCKED that minivan!!!!!!
