Too many thoughts

Jr. High - Brought to you by Mean Girls

This week my kids in health class are learning about sex and puberty, can you say "AWKWARD!"

Yes girls are obsessed at this age about their weight :( 

I'm happy to report that more kids are finding their own style! 

The cool words we had at that age, are null and void. "Whatever!"

"Awkward" is my daughters favorite word, and it's rubbing off on me

But at least it's better than some of the other colorful words kids use

Luckily there are more good little tweens/teens than bad

This lesson starts in Jr. High

It takes a special person to have the patience and humor to teach middle school!!! 

To my daughter who hates going to school everyday,

I did my time, taught me a lot. I can save you a lot of heartache and headache if you listen to my insight. Some things may have change, but human nature tends to not. Too bad schools are cutting history out of the curriculum. History always repeats! 

Fifty Shades of Gray... OH MY!

Loved
Hated
Protested
Secretly watched

Fact of the matter is people will read and watch movies, and always come away with their own opinions based on their own reality.

Some find it offensive to women based on their values.
Some loved the love story of a broken man, and a women who wants love not just a lifestyle.
Some book and or film connoisseurs (snobs) want to show how horrible they find the film / writing product.
Some BDSM lovers wish to set the record straight this is not what their lifestyle entails.
Some horny women who are sick of their stale vanilla sex life want to fantasize about a dominate billionaire who will take them over their knee.

But I think most just wanted to see what they hype and protest was all about. Curiosity killed the cat? Guess we'll have to wait to see what future events will be blamed on this movie.

My take on all this is that if you want to change the world, save souls, or are one of the many sick of people trying to force it down your throat. Try perceiving the world through the lens that colors their world first.

"Delicious," He murmurs, licking his lips. "Amazing how good plain old vanilla can taste."

Oh the irony of it all!  :) (Inside joke)
