13 Again
One of my beloved nieces is turning 13 this week. So I ask myself, would I want to be 13 again? No way! I have no fond memories of that year. I was in eighth grade and I did not like anything about myself or about school. I’m not sure what happened when I was 13, but I think that’s when I got my ears pierced. The only reason I got my ears pierced was so people would know I was a girl. Yes, 13 was not a good year.
For my niece, however, I think she’s going to have a great year. She’s intelligent and pretty and talented athletically. She’s also a very nice young woman who is fun to be around. I wonder what she would like for her birthday? I know she enjoys texting all her friends. A thermal printer like the tm-t88iv would come in handy for printing out all those text messages to put in her scrapbook. Does anyone do scrapbook anymore?
Perhaps I should ponder this more.
