"what's the T" is hip kid for what's the drama?
Asking that question typically inspires interesting comments from my kids. This weekend that inspired the following responses:
Son (high school 10th grade)---"an upper classman got nailed for having 3 joints at school"
Daughter (8th grade middle school) "nada today"
Daughter hockey goalie who goes to summit middle school " 3 girls in my school are pregnant"
Ding Ding Ding we have a winner for the T of the week, month, and year to date (with the Lipsey drug and car flipping incidents all last year) and its 3 8th grade girls carrying their babies to term at summit middle school.
Moving on-------Girls can do anything boys can do
I spent this weekend with 2-5 teen hockey girls in steamboat this past weekend. My daughter looks like she was beaten with a bat---black and blue marks on both arms and above both knees. She drew a couple of penalties and they didn't even call her getting hit in the head with a stick or the cross check-boarding that sent her flying head first toward the corner boards. Whoever said girls hockey didn't have contact didn't play with these girls.
On the way home from steamboat there is about 70 miles without much in the way of services---but I did have well hydrated hockey girls in my car---I know boys can pee in empty gatorade bottles---well the girls didn't spill a drop (I am told) filling up a large starbucks cup. Way to go girls. Most impressive given how much laughter there was not to spill--I honestly can't imagine the skills that takes.
Finally this bumper sticker was on a 4runner in Steamboat
The car was being driven by a 20 something woman who looked super crunchy. Guess you can't judge a book by its cover. And I guess her view of Freedom is her ability to be the ultimate freerider. What is a better expression of freedom than being able to pollute the heck out of the planet and then shoot lots of stuff with an AR15.
