Last night watching the news reports of MJ’s death
Bird: So there’s two Michael Jackson’s?
Me: No there’s only one
Bird: No…there’s a brown skinned Michael Jackson and a white Michael Jackson
Me: *sigh*
Tuesday evening at dinner for T’s graduation
Me: Grandma (R’s mom) is turning 60 tomorrow.
Bird:*In total amazement* She’s only 59??? I didn’t know she was that young. I thought she was like 82!
I explained that because Grandma is sick (cancer) she looks older now. I was amazed that at her age she thought 60 was young.
The stuff that comes out of this girls mouth I can’t make up.

You’re going to make my LAZY self take up my blog again… LOL! I have the same experiences with my 16 year old… Bless her ‘lil heart! She’s smart as a whip when it comes to the books, but can’t save herself for being too simple when it comes to common sense. All my husband and I can do is shake our heads to keep from screaming Bloody Mary!
However, it’s easy to see why the youngins would think there’s 2 Michael Jacksons… He hardly looks the same!
As for the age thing… I’m glad that she knows that 60 is YOUNG! She has a lot to look forward to as she grows into her own!
PEACE

When I was a freshman in college I had a white roomate. We were talking about MJ one day and I forget what I said, but my roomate hollered out, “Michael Jackson is BLACK???” She had no idea and we were 18!
Maybe Roscoe and the old roomie need to become pen pals

Despite this trip up Roscoe could probably ‘learn’ roomie a thing or two…at 18 what was her excuse??!
