Here is another example of how I know I'm getting older...

On Saturday night we went to see the movie American Gangster (which was actually really good, long in parts but great acting and overall entertaining) and behind us was a row of about 8 teenagers, none of which looked older than 16. Anyway, one girl kicked my seat twice while getting up during the previews and continued to talk in the most annoyingly loud voice to her friends. Finally I couldn't take it anymore and John proceeded to turn around and ask her to stop kicking. She did but not before giving it one last nudge. During the movie all these kids decided to get up multiple times and walk in and out of the theater. One even answered their phone! It was very distracting. John and I had this long discussion on the drive home about how certain people today must be raising their kids to be so intolerant of others. I'm writing about this today because we see it all the time. This incident on Saturday just irked me so much. Where is the respect for those around you anymore?

I think if we do decide to have children one day that I'm going to try to raise them to be good human beings first before anything else. I pray all of you hold me to that!
