Special People
January 31, 2007
My little cousin Samantha, age 7, invited me to her “special persons” lunch at her elementary school this afternoon. I was completely flattered, especially since I was the only one there between the ages of 8 and 35. One of her more charming little friends walked up to me, among the crowd of parents, looked up, and stated, “You look like you’re 13!”
My GOD! A whole 13 years?! I knew I shouldn’t have worn so much makeup!
There was one thing in particular that really struck me as I walked into the cafeteria.
I miss those little, cardboard, two-sips-per-serving milks. Their lunches, however, were much evolved from what I experienced as a Catholic school student. I mean, they had choices. We never had choices. And the servings were huge. And their little uniforms were adorable.
And I feel old.

growing old is surely better than “growing up” ?

I could buy a mini-carton of chocolate milk at the grocery store any day, but there’s just something a little weird about about a 21-year-old sipping from one of those.

Heh, I love those milk cartons as well.

Totally disagree with Marianne :P I’m definitely feeling nostalgic for those milk cartons.

We didn’t have those milk thingies in elementary school..or elsewhere. Quite a compliment that you look like you’re 13 :P! Except if you are a 16 year old teen who wants to be SO grown-up. But anything older than that, I would take it as a compliment.

Haha sweet Rachel looking like she’s 13? I believe! :D
I love those little milk cartons! But we don’t have any that are as cute as the one shown in the picture.
