Goodness. I don’t have time to write.
It’s Paige’s birthday this Friday and I am hunkering down into serious event planning mode. Last year, we had a low key family event (by her choice) and now she totally wants to make up for it by having me take her and her 5 closest friends to “Fright Fest” – which is a sort of souped up sideshow carnival that got derailed into Halloween-town. This is my version of hell.
She actually asked if I could rent her a limo.
BRAAHAAHAAHAAAHAAA! WE ARE IN AN ECONOMIC DOWNTURN, HONEY.
I blame this delusion of grandeur on that damn show “My Super Sweet 16” and their $300,000 Bat Mitzvahs. It’s a disgusting reflection on American culture. Charlie Brooker from the Guardian explains how I feel about it better than I can:

Great to meet you at the class last night. I have an October birthday as well. I consider the whole month my month. Good luck with your teenager, I can’t wait till mine start asking for limo’s.

Holy crap! That is hilarious/disgusting! Teenagedom has gotten pretty scary. I love the part where she throws her crown down after getting her new car on the wrong day.
Charlie’s right – we’re doomed.

But more than the teenage brat — the stupid mom is at fault. I’m sure it’s her parenting (or lack thereof) that allowed her little monster to bloom/explode.
