Kids today

J and I were at the playground after dinner tonight. We have been outside all day, and we are both exhausted. I was sitting on the platform for the slide while J ran around, trying to out-run the tired. Two little girls with their grandparents came to the playground. J immediately began running around with the younger of the two. The older one, about 6, sat next to me. 

Little girl: "Do you know Mario Kart Wii?"

Me: "You mean the game Mario Brothers?"

Her Grandmother: "Is that what she is talking about? I can't understand a word she says."

Little girl: "You know Mario?"

Me: "Yep, I remember Mario."

Little girl: "I'm Peach."

Me: "Is that the princess?"

Little girl: "Yes, I get to be Princess peach."

Me: "Wow, you know back in my day we could only be Mario. We played on Nintendo, the regular one, not the box."

Little girl: "Back in the olden days?"

(Grandparents snicker)

Me: (Clearly flustered) "No, NOT the olden days. Just back, in the day. Not olden, not old. Dude."

Kids today, I don't know about this next generation. Speaking of which, my cousin Andrea is graduating from high school and I made her this card with Cosmo's Everafter:

Beautiful Card

Supplies: Cosmo Cricket Everafter Patterned paper: Something old, Something new, Something Borrowed; Cosmo Cricket Everafter Rub-ons; plus white bazzil cardstock, kaiser craft pearls and Martha Stewart Butterfly punch.

Instructions: Frame white cardstock with gray, yellow patterned and then yellow paper. Apply rub-on. Punch butterflies-on from dark gray paper and one from the striped paper. Put gray one down as a "shadow" and add the yellow on top, folding the wings slightly. Apply pearls.

Happy weekend to you! Until tomorrow, have a great one!
