This weekend I went to a band trip with my 12 year old as a chaperone. It started with band performances, ended with them (and me) at an amusement park all day.
I met a bunch of Middle Schoolers who were friends / acquaintances with my daughter. They referred to me as "cool," "legendary," "icon," and one said I was "an icon on par with Madonna." But...but why?
I think about that day and all I can think is that I'm an adult, a parent who was willing to engage with these kids. I talked with them about music, their hobbies, anime, video games, whatever they wanted to talk about. I listened and interacted. Apparently, that's enough to make me an icon.
It feels very basic. But, the fact that just this level of interaction felt out of the norm for them from their friend's parents that it made them call me an icon, I feel that says more about the other adults in their lives than it does about my awesomeness.
Istnieją filtry upiększające, czasami używam,
Piszac to, znam i widzę na Facebooku konkretnie osobe ktora sie tym zatracila. Pzykro się na to patrzy. Niedługo będzie myśleć że ona jest boginią. Filtry to zło jak się używa ich w każdym 10 razy raz po raz zdjęć w jeden dzień na Facebooka #faceapp#facebook#selfie#filtry#sztuczna#sztuczność#psychologia#psychology#life
@JapanProf ABSOLUTELY 💯 % agree. The world should be a loving magical place where we all get to explore our own human existence freely. These innocent souls are being violently robbed of their Earthly experience. #ceasefirenow#freepalestine#saverafah
