Old vs. Young

I went from feeling young down to feeling like an old fart . . . all in one weekend. Let me explain.

I was in L.A. visiting Grandma. We were hanging out by her pool when the pool man came over to clean it. He couldn't have been more than 5-10 years older than me. We chatted and he asked, "So, what school do you go to?" YES! He thinks I'm still in college! Totally flattering.

Later that day, my aunt and uncle picked me up in the van they'd rented for the evening. It was one of my cousin's 14th birthday party. She, along with my 17 year old cousin, invited some friends to go to Fright Night down at Universal Studios. Nothing makes you feel older than stepping into a van with 9 teenagers. They were all screaming and texting the whole ride downtown. Just to feel a little younger, I decided I'd better start texting, too. I'm hip, I'm with it. I sent one to my mom, which I'm pretty sure un-did any coolness I may have gained.
