Cool

Friday I went to a birthday party for my kid's friend's friend. My kid isn't tight with the kid, but I am cool with the mom so I was totally down. Did I lose you already?

So, anyway, we get there and it's set up like a spa - floor pillows, plushy carpets and hanging drapes. The ultimate coolness - the mom had 3 women come to her house and each kid got a facial, massage, nails done and make up! WTF!? How did I not know this existed?! To top it off she had these little kits where each kid made their own lotion, lip gloss, perfume and body glitter... I am jacking this idea. Try and stop me.

Other news - the verdict is still out on my child's intelligence. She is completely unaware of people not liking her. She could spend an entire day with kids who think she's a child-sized version of Napoleon Dynamite, but if you ask her, she will tell you everyone likes her. Good or bad? Unknown.

Also, I was trying to convince her that going back to school is fun. New supplies, new friends, new clothes, new teacher - specifically, that this teacher does not know she's a talkaholic and pretty much doesn't pay attention, ever.

Me: "You can start off with a clean slate. Maybe not talk and actually pay attention this year. Then the teacher will like you."

Her: "Yeah...that's probably not going to happen."

Me: ...

FOR SHIT'S SAKE...she won't even give it a TRY.
