High School Reunion

Yesterday Ella attended a first birthday party while Jerry and I attended a high school reunion...actually, they were one in the same. Maissy, the celebrant, is the daughter of a fellow Glenbard South Alum. As I watched the birthday girl unwrap her gifts I couldn't help but chuckle as I overheard the focus of conversation amongst our friends: Disney on Ice, allergies to milk, nap times and runny noses. Fifteen years have passed and long gone are the murmurings about parent-free parties and the fallout of those parent-free parties. What would those seventeen and eighteen year olds think of us now? Just thinking about it makes me yearn for a wine cooler, my curling iron and Depeche Mode.
