Say Anything.
'Say Anything' is a John Cusak/Cameron Crowe 1989 teen flick. ' A noble underachiever and a beautiful valedictorian fall in love the summer before she goes off to college.' This is actually not what this thread is about, but the message is the same.
Actually no it isn't, I just like imdb.com and the title sounded interesting. /snort
This is not necessarily a vent thread - far from it. This is about saying anything - weather, the bird outside your work window, the fundamental differences between Mormons and catholics, how Law and Order Criminal Intent doesn't get the props it deserves, that I always forget whether it's 'it's' or 'its', that my daughter has a beautiful smile and the first guy that breaks her heart - I'm breaking his knees...it's about anything.
So, say anything.
I wouldn't have allowed Jen to go over there if there hadn't been an adult. I trust her completely and I'm coming to trust this kid as I get to know him, but I'll never know him well enough to be able to allow her to go over there for several hours adult-less, in this age of curiosity and experimenting. I'm not in any kind of a rush to be a grandma, to be sure.
This soap opera is getting good; Jen got a text from him last night that said "just wanna say nite & i luv u" :omg I about freaked when she showed me...
'Really, mommy? Is it?' Catherine has already learned the subtle nuances of sarcasm and a straight face.
'Here, try this!' I handed it to Mike who just looked at me with a strange look. 'HERE!'
'Roz, I don't drink coffee...'
'I don't care, try it!'
Rolling his eyes, he did. 'Wow, that is really good.'
I knew then where Catherine developed her talent for snarky tude-ness. Still, it was nutty and just...GOD GOOD!
