The older my children get, I find myself...with increasing frequency, starting sentences with a phrase I thought I’d never say: “When I was your age…” Yup, nothing says you’re old like those words, which have been uttered by old people since the Industrial Revolution.
Usually, “when I was your age” serves as a cop-out for my cheapness. I say things like, “When I was your age, I only had two shoes” (commonly known as one pair), or “When I was your age, we only had four channels, and one of them was in French.”
But there is one statement that I wish to shout from a roof top. It is: “When I was your age, the toys were better.” If you look at some of the top toys on this years Christmas wish lists, you see cheap plastic crap that I am loathe to buy for Lochlan.
I miss the toys of my childhood, all of which I wish my parents still had. Yes, with five children, had they kept our toys, they would now have a moderate-sized toy collection, a Narnia closet leading to Fisher Price Land, that would …

ReplyDeleteYou look amazing and I NEED that $20 dress it is amazing. Glad you had fun!
ReplyDeleteOh Janet I saw on fb that you forgot your clothes! The dress you found looks great though and you will never make that same mistake again. Looking forward to your vlog!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you found that dress for $20! What a bargain. And I have to say that forgetting your garmet bag at home is totally something I would do. My BFF got married last year one state away from where I live and I left all my makeup at home. I was the maid of honor. Fortunately, the other ladies in the bridal party let me borrow their makeup.
