You know how you hear of Big Brother/Big Sister programs or surrogate grandparenting programs that pair needy kids with a mentor? Well, one of our local school districts is using this idea in the opposite fashion. They are holding free computer and internet classes for Senior Citizens to teach basic computer skills, internet browsing and safety - and pairing the senior citizen with a middle school student to help them out. Now isn't that a sign of the times?
Depressing: Def., "Realizing that you and your Dearly Beloved are entirely to close to wearing the same pant size. Case in point - Hero Guy came ' har har-ing' out of the bedroom relating that he had accidentally been wearing a pair of my jeans for the last 15 minutes. He wondered why they felt so weird (translated - TIGHT) until he took them off and inspected the tag. He gloated that at least he knows he can fit into a Ladies Size ___ (you really think I'm going to tell you the number?!). My Observations: 1) He had a MONSTER wedgie, so the jeans were entirely too small for him. 2) They are my "fat" jeans, a size bigger than what I actually wear, but I just like the broken-in feeling of them. Or the roominess or something. 3) They were the stretchy kind of jeans, so an elephant could have painted itself into them. 4) What's he bragging about having a girlish figure for anyway? Not very macho if you ask me. Hmph.
