(as if I need more reasons)
I wanted him to get the kids ready for bed because I was wrapping presents for our daughter’s birthday the next day. I said to him, “Could you please get the kids ready for bed? I’m taking care of some business…involving Tupac.”
“Gotcha.”
He automatically knew what I was talking about. (Tupac = rapper = wrapping)
That’s how cool we are.
And also, we tuck our legs up and wrap our arms around them.
Because that’s how we roll.

I’m not cool enough to have gotten “Tupac” when you said it until you explained it. But cool enough to laugh at the wrap and roll life you live. 😀

I wish I could take credit for the latter, but I stole it from somewhere else. Still, definitely worth spreading that one around!

You are cool. I think Tupac would be honored…

I couldn’t tell you a single song by him, but I hope he would be!

Something tells me suburbanite moms like us weren’t his demographic… (Though I don’t know if you live in a suburb.)

I do, and you’re probably right. Though I would love to meet a suburbanite mom who was serious into rap. That would be wild. Well, maybe a little scary.

Unless her kids were children of a rapper(s). In either case, they must have just recently moved to the burbs. I’ll leave you to figure out the motives. This family can be in your next novel. Then you can tell me all about them, and I’ll feel like I know them!

My youngest aunt always does my grandmother’s Christmas wrapping for her. My grandmother was born in 1918. She watches the news all the time, though some things escape her. My aunt was wrapping her presents in ’96 when my grandmother said to her, “You’re a good wrapper. Just like that guy they shot in Las Vegas.” My aunt said, “uhhh, do you mean Tupac?” “Yes,” she said, “he was a good wrapper too.”

When our kids were younger and we wanted to “talk over their heads”, I would ask my husband “How does Arctic Granite sound?” He knew that I meant ColdStone ice cream!
