Time to stop time

Weird things about yesterday....

Allison's class watched the first of the puberty videos today.

She came home very unperturbed about it.  Anything exciting happen? No.  Did you watch a video?  Oh, yeah.

Then she used the word "totes."  As in - "That was totes awesome."  So, like many a parent before me ("rad," "bogus," "far out") I find myself questioning my child's use of the English language.  Is that a thing?  I think I saw an article the other day about Millennials and there was a joke about the work "totes."  I, of course, had never heard it before - or if I had heard it.... I did not know it was a Thing.

So, I think I would like to stop time now.  I'm not sure that I want hormonal, crazy teenagers.  I run into No One who says "yeah, those years from 12-18 - those were totally the best!"  I don't want to stop it indefinitely.... because at the end of the teen years you hopefully have kids who then go off to college and then their lives.  But, I like their ages right now, and I could keep right now a little bit longer.
