Don't you just love traditions? Even just the seemingly insignificant ones can be the most memorable.
Ever since Nela started attending public school (and after I was back in the United States) I've taken her out to breakfast on the first day of school! Along the way we've had guests (including current and ancient boyfriends, and mirror-esque best friends), but we haven't missed a beat. Granted the girl can't get herself to ever finish a plate that early in the morning... we still sit, chat, emote some excitement, etc!
She's a senior this year. Yikes! Where'd all the time go? So, unless she stays local *fits of sarcastic giggles*... or I venture off to Cali, this simple tradition has seen it's end.
*singing and swaying*
"I said, 'what about breakfast at Tiffany's?'
She said, 'I think I remember the film...'""When the toast is burnt, and all the milk has turned, and Cpt Crunch is waving farewell...
When the Big One find's you, may this song remind you, that they don't serve breakfast in Hell!" [She always was a Newboys fan]
PromoGuy mentioned something I try not to contemplate too greatly (for fear of feeling older than I already do!) A "Mind Set List" noting how differently the world apppears throug the eyes of these young folk.
For example:
- "Trivial Pursuit may have been played by their parents the night before they were born."
that would be me... the big sister! I was playing when Canela was born!
- "Cyberspace has always existed."
Lucky bastards!
- "A 'Hair Band' is some sort of fashion accessory."
We always called 'em scrunchies!
