When did I become old and unhip?
On a recent visit to our community neighborhood pool to try to get another swimming lesson, the two teenage lifeguards looked as if to say, "Look, more old fat people." It was then that I realized that they were probably half my age-my age of course being 32. Maybe they weren't quite half of my age. The funny thing is-even being a new mom and the responsibilities of motherhood, I still feel like a teenager. I screamed at one point during my swim lesson when I went underneath the water and didn't expect to, but I still find myself in life giggling over funny things said or even funny things that my son does.
I've also discovered recently that there is some guy that all of the girls are swooning over named Zak Efron? I'm not even sure that I'm spelling his name correctly. And there is a new reality show with Victoria Beckham (formerly of the Spice Girls?) that is all of the buzz and I realized as I saw a few minutes of it repeated last night that if I had seen Victoria Beckham in the grocery store, I would have no idea of who she is or even was except for the fact that she's most likely to be surrounded by a sea of photographers trying to get a picture. The chances of her ending up in an Indiana grocery store-slim to none. And I've heard of her husband-some sort of soccer phenomenon named David Beckham but yet again, if I would see him, not sure I would even recognize him.
I still can recall days when I knew what all of the latest movies were out in the theaters (when was the last time I actually saw a movie in the theater?), knew all of the latest songs and groups, knew all of the latest technology. While I was pregnant, I debated treating myself to an Apple Ipod to help during the labor when I realized that I had no idea how an Apple Ipod even worked-do you have to pay to download songs for the Apple Ipod? I don't even know the answer to this question to this day.
Trying to take a picture every day of my son, I now know how to take pictures with my digital camera but have yet to learn how to download them on my computer.
I am already starting to be technologically illiterate and know that the youngsters already know more than me when it comes to what's hip and what' not. I was also thrilled to say that there is a new reality show featuring two people from my teenage Bopper days-Corey Haim and Corey Feldman. :)
