Thanks for nothing Zoltar

Egads! 7th grade again?! It was pure torture the first time around; Catholic School, threats of physical punishments, the awkward growth spurt and being taller than most of the boys in the classroom, and I still cannot break down a sentence into all the parts, lines everywhere… ::shutter:: … yelling at me does not help me to retain information any better, thank you Sister Mary-Margaret-Anne-Cathorine of Lourdes.

I am technologically challenged to begin with, so I can only imagine I would be the object of ridicule for all the other kids in class (go me, I love attention) but on the upside, the ‘underprivileged, overweight, underheight, tripping over his/her own shadow’ student can breathe a sigh of relief for the momentary distraction I would cause.

Zoltar, you can keep my $1 and buy yourself a new headpiece. In the meantime, I am pulling your plug.

In a reversal of Big, the Tom Hanks classic from the 80s, your adult self is suddenly locked in the body of a 12-year-old kid. How do you survive your first day back in school? – the daily post

more than spinach in my teeth

The daily post

You wake up one morning to a world without mirrors. How does your life — from your everyday routines to your perception of yourself — change?

My initial response was the superficial, how will I know if I have spinach in my teeth. But upon further deep thought, and another high test coffee, my final answer would be, it would ultimately be freeing. No longer would I live every day to the aging woman in the mirror but as the early 30 something I feel! Every day we should embrace the inner energy and youthfulness, but it is not that easy when you see more wrinkles and gray hair facing you whilst brushing the fangs.
