Now, babies have invaded our lives. Every get together, every event, is filled with the sounds of squealing, burping, and temper-tantrums.....Oh, and the kids are loud too!
Last night, in the midst of one such event, I sat at a table surrounded by little children; faces covered in ketchup, hands sticky from fruit, hair sticking up in all directions, stains on their shirts and it made me wonder; when did our gatherings become so kid-centered?
As I scanned the room, there wasn't ONE adult who didn't have a kid in-tow. There wasn't a conversation that didn't revolve around dirty diapers, feeding schedules, or parenting tips. And I just thought to myself, "Huh, we used to be cool.... what happened?"
Though, in true form, amidst the sounds of little feet and tiny giggles, there was some cool emo-rock playing in the background. Which just totally cracked me up. Like we were willing to give up our cool factor on every account, except for music. I guess somehow that still made me feel like I was still happening.
Though I am sure in about 7 years time, our kids will all roll their eyes at our "cool" music, letting us know just how officially uncool we are. It's amazing how much 2 years has changed my life. And just how adult I have become. Crazy.

Ah, too true! I guess micro brews and indie music don't hold our cool factor anymore.
