Excuse Me, I Have A Question?

When did I become old? My oldest just went to his 8th grade dance last night and while I don't feel old at 3x, I can't believe High School is next. I still remember my High School days.

I didn't attend a traditional school. It was an all girl school. Apparently the oldest all girl public school in the United States. Whoopee,it didn't feel so special to me. Not only didn't I get the pine for the boy that sat three rows ahead on the left but that place was an estrogen-fest of purses, shoes and hair. 

I was an average student with average grades, so should I have higher aspirations for my son? Should I stress A's and B's when I use to brings in more C's than A's and B's combined? Things were so much simpler when he was in diapers.
