Kids say the darndest things, as do teenagers!

I have laughed all day about a conversation Lauren and I had last night. This Friday is the first dance of the school year at Victory Lakes. I assumed Lauren wanted to go and asked her and Cory about it last night. Lauren said she didn't want to go.

Me: It doesn't matter to me if you go or not, but why don't you want to go?
Lauren: It's like this, I always just end up alone in a corner with a hot dog and a coke.
Me: Why do you end up in the corner? Where are your friends?
Lauren: They're dancing.
Me: Why don't you dance?
Lauren: Cause then I'm all hot and sweaty and out of breath.

You probably had to be there - she was so funny! She has the dryest sense of humor! The thing is, I hear her. I never did like to dance, I just didn't. And I hated it when all my 'dancing friends' made me dance. I didn't realize then that school dances weren't much fun, it took me years to figure it out. But Lauren, at the wise old age of 13, has it down. I have a funny feeling she'll change her mind once she gets a boyfriend, but for now, I'm happy to have her hanging out with me this Friday night!
