Um, Good Morning, America?
What a morning. I’m still shaking my head. No, my daughter didn’t wake up like Miley Cyrus, nude in satin sheets. But my day did get off to a strange start…
• My groin – I received email from a female reader of my blog, someone I’ve never met, asking: how is your groin? (I pulled it slightly while playing tag at my son’s weekend lacrosse game. I guess I should have worn Dockers.) At any rate, my groin is fine, unless of course there’s a cute massage therapist offering… oh, never mind.
• My cell phone – while eating oatmeal and reading the newspaper, I received a text message on my cell phone. (You never know who might text a single dad… ) Can u pull my bike out? It was from my daughter (!) who was in the bathroom(!!) in my house(!!!). Seems she was running late… (I pulled the bike out for my little princess)
• My coffee – my son forgot a textbook, so I hopped on my beach cruiser and took it to his elementary school. There were a ton of kids playing four-square, including a ten-year-old who was playing with one hand because in his other hand he was holding a Starbucks venti latte!
Which, of course, begs the question – where’s my morning coffee?

What’s a beach cruiser?… You didn’t take me for a spin in that when we met for lunch. I feel like I missed out.

hahahahaha, that just kills me. My sister’s kids all have their own Starbucks cards.

Ms Single Mama – California is the harbinger state. When your son is 10, someone his age will be drinking venti lattes. Just ask Pajama Momma
Debra – I’ve heard of booty calls, but groin calls? That was a first!
Single Mom Seeking – behold, a beach cruiser.

Starbucks for a 10 year-old?! I’m just drinking the crap at work. Man, I need a life. ;)
By the way, glad you and your groin are doing well.

I wish I’d known about coffee at age 10. Grade school would’ve been way more exciting for everyone involved.

First a venti latte, then pot.
Isn’t that how it goes?
Starbucks is nothing. Tween girls in Marin get mani/pedi/waxings/facials as if they were going out of style — all the while talking on their Bluetooth BlackBerrys.
I was still playing with my Barbies …

Hah! Starbucks is the real gateway drug. Ban it! Ban it for all our safety!
I promise you if you make Starbucks illegal, they will take it underground. Starbucks Speakeasies in a back alley near you.

Sounds like an alternate universe to me. CA is indeed a wacky place.
