i’m aging myself…

Yesterday, I ended up playing pool mom to a bunch of neighborhood kids, ages 4-10. After tiring of the usual sharks and minnows, colors, marco polo, and whatever pool games they like to play, they turned to me. They wanted me to call out things they could act out before they dove into the pool. Charade-like stuff, such as, “a plane landing in water, tinkerbell flying across disneyland, a rock star jumping into the crowd…” These kids have penchant for the dramatic so they did really well. That is, until I said, “Vogue like Madonna!” The pool got really quiet, and they all turned around, and said, “Who’s Madonna?” ha ha!

Do you know Madonna? :)

Haha wow you are aging yourself, you were alive when Jesus’ mom was alive? Wow that, according to Kealoha, would make you older than Reflector Boy, who is supposed to be the oldest next to God

That was too funny!
…………Yikes! I know who Madonna is……that must not be a good thing. That reminds me of the time I had my nephews in the car and a song from New Kids on the Block came on the radio…….and I said “Oh I love this song”……….and Jonathan replied…….”Auntie please change the channel this is Totally 80’s.”
