Default have you become the atypical parent type or have you retained your coolness?


i am not cool and havent been for awhile. recently i gave up all together. i drive a minivan, where khaki shorts, superhero t-shirts and crocs. my kids think i am cool as ice but they're just kids. other adults think i am a dork. this wasn't always the case. i have excepted this.

Not really lol I'm too lazy to care about being cool. As long as my family is happy, I'm happy. I don't make much time for anything else.

So no, I'm not cool...but i've come to terms with it.

Oh dear crocs, shame on you! In GB cool is an 80's expression, so yeah, it is definitely uncool in the sense that we would use it. Here someone is sick, the only way I'm sick is getting Nintendo stuff before it comes out because my best mate from school works in their console design, apart from that, I'm just a weird man that lives with them.

Default Re: have you become the atypical parent type or have you retained your coolness?

I gave up on "cool" long ago.

In fact, I have a sneaky feeling that even when I thought I was cool I was just being an idiot, so possibly I've never been cool...

So what the hell IS Beiber Feaver anyway?

Its a bunch of girls who are in love with Justin Beiber. A 15 year old boy who looks 12, sounds 9 and could easily use his OWN voice to play a chipmunk...

BUT even at 20 I can't help but sing along to his songs on the radio...

BABY BABY BABY OHHHH like baby baby baby ohhhhhhhhh I thought you'd always be mine mine.....

K Im done...

OHHHHH

No really....done now...
