Officially "Cool"

So I was informed today by my sweet 5-year old daughter that I am "cool". I am always striving to be seen as "cool" in the eyes of my children, you know. It's something that, at my age, I don't hear from my children very much. Usually they are letting me know that I'm NOT cool, that I'm soooo old-fashioned, or don't know how it is anymore. It's not a fun thing to be told by my children how completely out-of-touch I am with their world now! So, as you could imagine, when one of my children told me today that I'm cool, I had to get more details!

The conversation went something kind of like this:

Lindsay: Mom, you're so cool!
Me: Wow! Really! Thank you! Um. . . why am I cool?
Lindsay: Because you can fit a whole piece of bacon in your mouth in one bite!!!
Me: Wow! Really?! Um. . .cool!

So, now you know what you have to be able to do in order to be considered "cool" by your kids these days!! And, just so you do it right, when I cook our bacon, I cut the pieces in half before cooking them. So really, you only need to fit a HALF of a piece of bacon in your mouth in one bite!!! Good luck! It's a real feat to be seen as "cool" by your kids! I'm so glad that I successfully accomplished it!!!

    Aren't kids the greatest? I love how such simple things can make their day. Patti, you are pretty cool! Thanks for the tip; I'll keep that in mind so that my kids'll think I'm cool someday too. :)

    Congratulations!! I'm starting to lose the "cool status" with my children, so I appreciate the tip! :)

    I'm so glad you found me on facebook!! Brian and I miss you guys and have been wondering what you are up to. We noticed you have added a few more babies to your group! How fun! Are you still in Denver? Brian gets a chance to travel that way every once in awhile, and he was hoping to hook up with you guys the next time he's out that way...perhaps I can go too! ...we'll see, however keeping things going while he is out of town is a full time job :) I loved looking at your photography site! I'm so glad that you are still doing what you love and what you are good at :) A good friend of mine, Angie, is also a very creative photographer, and I'm grateful to have her close because I appreciate her style as well. Until Angie showed up, Brian and I always said that we really wished you guys were still around to take our pictures...we love your style! This is getting a bit long, and not really the format to go into lots of details, but I'm glad that we can keep in touch now!! :)
