Okay, maybe I am showing my age and sounding a bit old but when Daniel and I walked into Subway the other day to get lunch the young girl making our sandwiches (probably 16 or 17) had 3 large hickeys on her neck in plain sight! First of all, I know teenagers make out and that's all fine, I am not in denial about that, but who wants to see that when going to get lunch! Second, where is this girls parents or boss telling her that's not cool!! Who is giving this next generation any type of direction. Back in my day if a girl had a hickey there was at least an attempt to cover it up. And I think if I ever came home with a visible hickey (don't worry Mom and Dad...I wasn't into hickeys...remember my black widow days)my parents would have killed me. Now days girls and guys are happy to show that crap off. It's crazy to me. Daniel saw some kids walking down the block who looked to be about 12 and smoking cigarettes! Seriously, where are their parents? I'd rather see them playing video games than walking around my neighborhood smoking in front of my 5 year old son! I am a bit worried for Cody as he grows up with the now "whatever feels good" attitude. I live next to a high school and see young teenagers kissing on the corner quite frequently and the boys with their pants now below their butts with their boxers in full sight...no shame! I have seen the stress and heartbreak as two teenage girls next door got pregnant one right after the next, lying to their parents about being in school, smoking pot in their backyard as a family activity. Their parents giving them everything they want because their parents were tying to be friends and not parents. Not to mention that the father's (of the pregnant girls)are pretty much missing in action and one is a gang member who was charged with statutory rape!! Hello people, wake up and be parents and good role models!! You don't have to be perfect but seriously...come on!! I am going to have a hard time when Cody starts dating and will try to keep him in as many sports as possible to avoid dating! No hoochy mamas at my house!! Scary days ahead!!!
Some cute pictures of Cody and Porter at their T-ball game. If they could only be this cute and innocent forever!
