I remember that her youngest child will be graduating high school and giving her her life back at about the same time my oldest (and at this point likely only) child will be entering the second grade, and then I go straight into ::never stops crying:: mode.
I've got a dear friend here who's eldest daughter just turned 21. She expecting her second child in March. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the news. I think she did both.
I graduated in '89--just squeaked in under the 80s wire.
I was wearing knickers in like '80 or '81, I think. I don't think I would have been caught dead in them by '85.
And not just any boy. Tom would have to be voted 1985 - BEST SMILE.
I was thinking the same thing. But if he keeps being our only boy, he's going to win every superlative in the year book.
I'm an 87er. Born two years too late for the party.
Don't you have an elsewhere to be?

I can't recall much about my wardrobe, which probably wasn't very pretty , but I do know I wore scabs.
There was a winter where I had three sledding accidents that all involved my face, leaving me nicely scabbed. My mother was afraid people would think that she was abusing me.
Not to mention the constant summer scabs from running amok in the woods.

JZ's comment reminds me that yesterday I was on the bus, and a Looniversity student was saying to another, "I mean, I want to go to law school, and also, if you don't get married by age 28, that's it - your expiration date has come!"
And I thought of newlywed Robin, and Laura, and JZ, and assorted other older-than-28-year-olds I know, and refrained from smacking the girl upside the head, because these gracious mature ladies would never do such a thing.
Hee, Suzi. I thought of that, and then decided to leave it.

Nor would they, I'm sure, have had to bite their lips in order to refrain from yelling, "That's only true of the vapid!"
Hey, THAT's why my marriage didn't work! I got married at 29, so I was way past my sell-by date! smacks self upside head
I'm past 28, and I know I'll never be married. She's totally right.
No, love. Your marriage didn't work because no one froze Z before his sell-by date and he went bad.
