Weird Like Me

Me: “How was your day with Grandma?”

My oldest, age 14: “She caught me trying to use The Force to pick up a book that was out of reach, and now she thinks I’m weird.”

Me: “I’ve tried to use The Force almost every day since about 1982. Grandma thinks I’m weird, too.”

Oldest: “You are weird.”

Me: “Thank you.”

Oldest: “You’re welcome.”

Squee

Cost of sharing my musical taste with my daughter: Weekly stops to pore over the CD racks at Half Price books together, and maybe $100 in old CDs over 2 years.

Hearing her squee when Queen comes on the radio in the car, and then getting to head bang together at the appropriate time during Bohemian Rhapsody: PRICELESS.
