Too Lazy to Be Creative / Parent's Revenge

Okay, everybody pretend that my background is just a bunch of fluffy dandelion seeds, instead of snowflakes.

P.S. Just read Dawn Meehan's blog (you know, the famous mom blogger of six kids), and she has a great post about shopping with teenage boys. Read the comments too: shopping. I so get that, except my difficulty is shopping with a preteen girl. Equally, if not more, excruciating. And yes, teenagers do have a weakness: they are horribly embarrassed by their parents. Zen and I teased Gil recently about sneaking into a movie we knew he was seeing with his friends, then sitting in the row just in front of him, and making out during the movie. We had some seriously therapeutic, evil laughter that day.
