I just found out that my daughter is going to be one of the Homecoming court (with 6 other girls) at her high school and at the big dance, the little kiddies will vote on who gets to be the Homecoming Queen. I think that is pretty neat.
When I was in HS, I was not THAT cool or popular, and especially not as a freshman.

So have your kinds "out cooled" you?

Yes my daughter has totally out cooled me but I still think I was kinda cool back then because it took a lot of talent for me to put an outfit together.[:)]

My girls are too young to tell but they have more of a social life than I did thats for sure! I'm trying to give them a better chance than I had. Besides, with Phillyidol as a dad, you have to be cool![:D]

My kids are still in elementary school, but I think they are already more popular than I was at that age. In elementary school, I was severely bullied and extremely shy, so it wouldn't be hard to be more popular than that! In junior high and high school

You know Jim, being a parent is one of the most fulfilling experiences a person can have. Just thought I would throw that out there![;)]

Jimbo,
don't feel sorry for those of us without kids. We have other, just-as-fulfilling experiences. They do not even compare to having kids, I am sure, but life-affirming all the same. Only a parent can attest to this fulfillment, but those of us who ar

A dead carp is cooler/more popular than I was. I was (am?) ubernerd. For my kids, outcooling the old man is hardly a challenge.
But cool they are! At least musically. I walked in on my teenage daughter yesterday and she was listening to the Vapors!

Well, I like to think I was cool when I was 12, but my son (whose 12) seems to have a lot more friends than i did. At the ball field, everyone knows him and he has to introduce me to them. Wierd seeing as how i'm just as involved with little league than h

Easy, i started a no hip hop rule, punishable by no tv or video games. No, i'm kidding. I've just always listened to it around him and it finally took after his Nelly phase (i just shuddered) and Jay Z (shudder) phase i was so happy. He really likes 70's

there is no way i will ever have kids, but if i did theres no way they would be cooler than i was, they might be more popular, but thats a confusing word, everyone at my school new who i was and i had many friends from many circles, but in the spoiled ric
