Mid-Century Modern Moms

I was invited to write for this blog about teenagers - like I know anything about teenagers! But it just occurred to me that you guys might enjoy the resulting essays:

When Logic Fails

End of Summer

and

Times Gone By

Note my mother has already complained about the last one - apparently it was Bill Haley not Elvis.

Edit: I should say that Connor and I agreed to use his middle name so that if his friends google him they don't end up landing on that site!

  • I enjoyed them all.

  • Great articles! You are really gifted. I’m proud!

    BTW, Bill Haley (and the Comet – groups had such great names during that era) was probably five to ten years before Elvis and G.I. Blues (both a song and a movie). Tell your Mom not to complain. She became a couple years younger in your piece.

  • To be honest, I put in a "placeholder" name when I was writing the first draft, with a plan to look up top hits and revise accordingly. Then I forgot all about it!

    I definitely should get credit for shaving years off ;)
