Who knew!?!

Know what's cool with the kids these days? Me!
Yes, four out of five of my friend A's kids think I'm da shit! Well, that's rounding up. I think it was more like two one out of five. And I'm pretty sure the term used was "cool", as in "she's nobody's parent and she doesn't even act like an adult so we don't necessarily need to shun her."
But seriously, who knew that kids appreciated the quirky goodness of a "somewhat" (nevermind the details schmetails) unemployed, house sitting, cat loving, off-balance, no life having, older-than-dirt grad student and all around lovable beotch??
Damn those kids are good judges of character. Or at least one of them. So I have that to cling to. Maybe now I can stop seeking validation from bloggy friends, acquaintances and total strangers online. HA! *snort* Like I could give up THAT drug!

Hell, I even get validation from my trollers from Dubai.

I find it very interesting that, after being neither hot nor cool my entire life, I am cool with teenagers, except my own daughter.
It's probably because my husband is young and hot rather than having anything to do with me.
There's hope for me yet!

I'm confused.
I thought (kitties) kiddies always thought you were a cool cat.
heehee?

You can also rely on plenty of validation from the person in the mirror.

I overheard my 20-ish niece tell my other 20-ish niece to be sure to "read Aunt Julia's blog. It's rad."
It was better than 20 Arte y Pico awards.

My niece thinks I'm cool, I'm not sure that is the word she used but it's what I heard, and maybe she only thinks so because it drives my brother nuts. He tries to dissuade his children from hanging with aunt Jenny who has tattoos and too many holes in her ears. Go figure.

You are da shit! Hell, those kids don't know everything. I've been knowing that for awhile. Now, am I smarter than a fifth grader?
Snort??Snort? I heard that all the way over here in Eastern Virginia!
Where's the party?
