The Cool House

I'd always hoped we'd have THAT house.

You know the one where everyone hangs out in?

The one where all your food is gone in one afternoon after a grocery store run that morning?

Where all the kids can hang and not be all, "ew your mom" or "I'd rather be loitering at Target."

Will it happen?

I'm not sure. 

Right now, all our afterschool activities take precedent over any hanging.

My oldest turned down a birthday party of a friend and a PG13 movie because of dance.

My son plays Runescape if he has any free time.

All the kids K knows are still in carseats or boosters, so they have to be driven over.

We're not the family with the XBox or Wii or Playstation, or Atari.

....

Oh Atari?!  You know that thing with the thingamabob, joystick thingy?

Right?  Isn't that it?  I don't know, I never actually had one, I think it was for boys.



Nevermind.



We don't have a pool.

Or a hottub (for the future:  probably a good thing).

We still have Betamax and VHS.

LOL, no we don't. Just fun to write that.

So I don't know, maybe we can be THAT house when the kids get older?

Do I even really want it to be?

Maybe I just want to be cool to my kids, be that family that's all cool and not totally embarassing.

Impossible?

What do you think?
