Today we had a 9y.o. using the C word and I didn't know what to say! I was so shocked, I don't think I even knew that word at 9!!! He got slated by everyone for his foul mouth, though. It was like everyone was ganging up on him, but then... he shouldn't have used that sort of language so I guess he was in the wrong.Sammihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18402188311013328392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-51458381539960659512010-04-18T19:23:45.653+02:002010-04-18T19:23:45.653+02:00Yes, it is so hard to watch them go through the th...Yes, it is so hard to watch them go through the things that we have all lived through, the hurts, the setbacks, the learning. But also the joys, the fun, the energy, the innocence, the curiosity...all part of the process. I wouldn't want to go through it all again either, but it is so intriguing to watch sometimes...mrs mediocrityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01021079985184737831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-79342778127083174712010-04-18T17:40:06.314+02:002010-04-18T17:40:06.314+02:00Birthday parties... so exciting and yet so many op...Birthday parties... so exciting and yet so many opportunities for heartbreak!

I didn't like to play them, but you kind of have to, don't you?<br /><br />I hope Sabin enjoyed most of her party.

I have sisters that are almost a decade younger than me, so listening to them and their friends talk just makes me grateful that the age of tween-ism was several miles back on my road of life. While adults aren't always more mature, at least we've progressed to the point where we can pretend we are.Chamoishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09658595962079138485noreply@blogger.com
