The sound of silence at Northpark Mall on a weekday afternoon, a vacant playground at Reverchon Park and people being pulled over for talking on their douchey iPhones can only mean one thing…school is back in session! Joining the herd for the first time is Sexy Mexy…sort of. Sexy Mexy, or “The Sex” for short, has graduated from daycare at a church to post daycare at a school. Many parents talk about how this time in their child’s life is a bit painful because your watchin’ your rugrat grow before your eyes…but lets be a little selfish here. What about how we the parents of these United States are growing up. It didn’t hit me until I opened Sexy Mexy’s school information folder. Here is your son’s schedule (I’m young). Heres your school’s lunch menu (yep, still young). Heres a school sticker to proudly display on your car (WARNING! WARNING!).
Suddenly osteoporosis set in my bones, I was hungry for a Luby’s dinner at three in the afternoon and I wanted to tape, not Tivo, every episode of Murder She Wrote and Matlock. Its happening…Im growing old. But not all is bad! When another day comes along where I feel old, I’ll know that I can be young again through the eyes of my sexy bi-racial ball of sunshine.
