Some recent conversations with Rachel made me laugh and I figured I should write them down.
"Mom, when will I get my own laptop? How old were you when you got your first laptop?"
"Do you see that laptop over there, that I got two years ago for Christmas? that is my first laptop, so I was 27."
"No mom, I mean your VERY FIRST laptop."
"That is my very first laptop."
"Well there is a kid in my class that has his own...nevermind, forget it. "
"Mom, when am I going to get my own cell phone??!! How old were you when you got your first cell phone?
"It was after I was married, and after you were born. So I was 21." (It was actually after we moved to quincy and I got lost driving home from Walmart one night, a few hours later when I finally got home, sam was worried sick and figured it was about time.
"No, I mean your VERY first cell phone."
(you get the idea)
"Mom, how old were you when you first kissed a boy?"
(crap! what do I say to this one, the real story is I was boy crazy in elementary school, I have some vague recollections of chasing boys on the playground when I was in second grade. (rach is in 3rd grade) ha ha! I don't remember any kiss specifically, but I do remember having a toy ring and saying we were going to be married --LOL! maybe my "first" kiss was in 5th grade. But then I didn't date anyone until after I as 16 and so my first REAL kiss wasn't until after that....hmmmm )
"Um....I don't remember."
