I want to know when things quit being cool. Or maybe the better question is how things quit being cool. Too much has quit being cool. It's not cool to tell someone you care for them, or about them. It isn't cool to do what's right, to pay attention in class, work hard, obey the law and the list goes on and on. I think it has to do with age.
The sun beamed brightly through the window shades as I sat getting my son's shoes tied this morning. I didn't think anything of the situation but I looked down to see pure amazement on my boys face. Of course I began to smile, you know the way a person acts when they don't get it but they want to act like they do. Then I realized that he was looking at the dust particles floating around in the air, trying to catch them with his tiny hands. We sat there for a good 10 minutes (which made me even later for work than usual) both of us completely entertained. Times like that are great. They are real.
