Pass the freakin' Geritol...

[telaryn]

It's been an amazing ride so far...and I have little doubt that the most exciting stuff is still to come.

Happy Birthday, Robin!

(Geritol? *snort* Puh-leeeze. Your brilliant kid will be in grad school by the time you're my age. :)

I'm pretty sure my big issue is that *I* don't feel old enough to have a daughter two years from voting age at this point.

Aren't grown kids something grown-ups have?

she looks EXACTLY like you in that photo. . . . . .

Doesn't she?? And though I haven't seen her dad in years, I recognize him there as well. :)

I have baby pictures of both of us that are frighteningly indistinguishable. No argument where *those* genetics came from.

Wow! Congrats for raising a 16 year old girl still willing to hang out with her mom on her birthday too :)

Last night I found myself giving dating advice to one of the twins I was babysitting when I was Robin's age. She is almost 17 now. ACK!

Thanks! It's weird actually - I guess I was more prepared for the "OMG stay away from me" teenage reaction than the "don't you understand, Mom - introducing you to my friends makes me *more* cool" that I ended up with.

Not that I'm complaining... :)

Let's slip some gin in the Geritol and have a geezers party!

Cry havoc and let slip the geritol...?

Awwwwww!! Happy 16th, kiddo!

(and i recognize that shirt and WANT ONE NOW!)

Hee! Actually the ladies' cut shirts are several shades lighter (the difference really between almost-new blue jeans and well-loved and comfortable blue jeans).

So since I know your size, the only remaining question is: which is more important to you? Cut or color?

(and no, under the circumstances your money is no good for this transaction. hush and enjoy. *g*)

cut! i'm all about the ladies cut. ::flying tackle hug:: i've been stalking the site looking for this one to go up! :)

oh MY!

Congrats, Robin! And congrats, Mom!! This is a TERRIFIC milestone!

:::beaming:::

(even if it does make me feel older than the hills!)

Thanks!

Legal adulthood in two years.

College in two years.

I don't *feel* old enough to have a grown-up daughter.

Thanks! :)

I think she's pretty gorgeous myself. *g*

And the cake - Carvel ice cream, loaded with chocolate crunchy bits. It's a family tradition.

Remarkable. You and her dad (and the rest of everybody) are clearly doing a fabulous job as parents, and she gets major awesomness points for everything she does... give her a squeeze for me, hmm?

Thanks, sweetheart - I will. *g*
