Lol at 'Deep Thoughts!' I may be a young'un, but I know my SNL. Did I ever tell you guys I was in love with Chris Farley? Cried my eyes out when a friend told me he had died. I was going to be Mrs. Farley, sigh sigh sigh.

Hmmm, good question, Kelly. Deep thoughts indeed. Due to having younger siblings still at home, I still see my parents as parental units above all else. But I was thinking this over last night at home, my mother in particular, and I have this memory I want to share. I have no idea how old I was, but I was small enough to fit into one of those back-of-the-bicycle kiddie carriers, kwim? And we were living in Washington, state that is...And my mother was walking the bike...It was just the two of us, out for a nature ride of some sort. Next thing I know, she is SCREAMING and JUMPING AROUND and eventually RUNNING the bike down the trail...Apparently she had happened across an ant hill (Oh, reminds me, I would be an "ant" too, by the by) and they were biting her legs...Now I was obviously very, very young, but in whatever form my child's mind put it together, I clearly remember thinking, This b!tch is crazy. Just wanted to share that little tidbit.

Now that my brothers and sister are practically grown, my parents are definitely getting back to some semblence of normalcy...They've actually attended concerts recently and word on the street is they danced. I'm shocked. So...to answer your question, Kelly, I think that my parents are still in the process of realizing the people they used to be. And I'm actually looking forward to doing that myself someday. Did you guys know Nathaniel and I took a tango lesson or two? Some bright shining day, we shall tango again.
