When my daughter left for college, I lost my in-house consultant to youth culture. There's just stuff I don't get. And there's something kind of pathetic about someone my age trying to pretend she gets it, so I don't try to pretend.

People often recommend, Why do you ask? as a good conversation stopper. But that really doesn't end the conversation, it just leaves the other person sputtering for a response. I like, You'll be the first to know..

Love is not shown by giving your toddler a car. It's better demonstrated by clapping as she bangs on pots or singing to her while she plays with her cheap little bath toys in the tub.
