Finally! In three years time I get to belong to the infamous "Forties Club" - personally, I can't wait. I mean, it's a whole new set of rules. I've heard whispers, sure, maybe a sentence or two spoken out loud in haste, but I don't know anything for sure, who under forty does? This is what I've heard. Now I'm not saying whether these are "official" or not... so, don't quote me or anything... but apparently at forty:
- a balanced diet means a Savannah in one hand and a piece of cake in the other.
- naming your muffin-top is ok - apparently blueberry is taken, but I hear choc-chip is still available.
- dancing doesn't involve a bunch of 3 year olds and a giant singing dinosaur.
- you don't have to belong to a book /bird watching /underwater basket weaving club.
- its ok not to volunteer to be the class mom/rep (the other moms won't even think you're a terrible uninvolved mother).
- if you do belong to a book club and all you do is gossip and drink wine - its OK to say so... even in public... at school.... in the parking lot.... to the other moms.
