To My Girl, With Adoration (and Corrections)

It’s hard to believe, seven years ago was our first date
(Not to be nit-picky, but it was actually eight)
I bought you dinner, and you bought us ice cream for dessert
(It was actually some frozen yogurt)

We went on a walk, enjoying the beautiful weather
(It was so cold I had to borrow your sweater)
You looked so cute in that flower-print dress
(Is your memory under some form of duress?)

You have the most beautiful blueish-green eyes I’ve ever seen
(Define what you mean by ‘blueish-green’?)
I hope our daughter has your beautiful brown locks
(It’s light chestnut! … Not to get on my color-wheel soapbox)

You always smell like lilacs, lavender or Ungaro
(You’re just saying the fancy smell-words you know)
I made you this CD, it has our old song
(It’ll be fun to see how you got that one wrong)

I just want you to know how much you mean to me
(I like you and your bad memory)
Even as I get older and my mind starts to fade
(I will be your memory maid)
I’ll always know how much you mean to me

Ok, Teenagers, Listen Up …

Here’s what you say when you do something stupid. And, just to keep the parentals guessing, say something like this after you do something good, too.

I’m a high potential individual, and I need to continue to explore my potential strengths and weaknesses. By making decisions that may seem negative now, I am really just doing what I call “learning 360.” Sometimes a step in the wrong direction right now is a step in the right direction long-term. But really, the point of “learning 360” is that it’s too early to know what the “right” or “wrong” directions are, any movement is positive.

Boom – you corporate talked your parents.
