Coolness

El Puente Dorado al Atardecer, San Francisco, California, 2010
Mi hijo belga llegó al aeropuerto internacional de San Francisco ayer a las 2:30. Llena de emoción dije, "¡Abrazo en grupo!" para abrazarle todos a la vez. Pero se me había olvidado que estaba entre jóvenes que son muy guays, y me miraron como si fuera una loca, mis cuatro y Rubén. "No, Mamá, eso NO se hace, NO es nada "GUAY!" "Tienes que controlarte," me dijeron, después muriéndose de risa de su madre. Creo que soy yo su mayor objeto de entretenimiento. Que puedo hacer? Soy yo, una bobita a quien se le olvida la "vida guay" de los jóvenes.

My Belgian son arrived to San Francisco International yesterday at 2:30. Full of emotion I said, Group Hug! so that we could all hug him at once. But, I had forgotten that I was amongst young people who are very cool and my four kids and Ruben looked at me as if I was crazy. No, Mom, you don't DO that, it's NOT COOL! You have to control yourself they told me, dying with laughter at their mother. I'm quite sure that I'm the main object of entertainment for them.What can I do? I'm me, a silly who forgets the coolness of young people.

  1. I adore group hugs...must be an age thing. My boys are 9, 10, & 11 and for the time being--I am still "cool." (chuckle) Enjoying it while it lasts!
