I am one of those people who if someone is "out of their element" it doesn't connect for me who they are. I think it started for me back in 8th grade when I saw my math teacher in a Carvel (ice cream store). This guy always wore a suit and tie for glass. At Carvel, he was wearing a black leather jacket, black jeans and tee shirt, boots and sunglasses. He looked like a biker! I was so stunned I think it made the "recognizing people in alternate situations" part of my brain shut down forever. LOL

That is so weird, I am the same, sometimes I don't even recognise aquaintances out of context, eg school bus run. I never thought of it, but in my teens, a friend and I spotted our very dour, strict Physics teacher, and he was seriously strict, I used to shake when he looked at me,out and about on a Harley Davidson.!!!You writing that brought back the memory as if it was yesterday.We were in a Wimpy, very cool then, looking oit the window for boys, and he pulls up at the traffic lights.
I also was awakened one night by very drunken singing comming down the road past my window, and it was my biology teacher.
Funny how at that age we never think our teachers have any lives.It was brought home to me very clearly one night several years later.I was out clubbing one evening and have to admit that myself and friend were a little worse for wear.Someone stopped me in the street and said, you're my Optometrist and you're drunk!!!
Talk about full circle.

Hey do you remember "The Chipettes"? Girl versions of the three "munks", each "ette" matched a "munk". Alvin = Brittney, Simon = Elenore, and Theodore = Jeanette

He was soooo happy this morning, coming down the stairs, then he had to wait a minute outside the dinging room (till I had lit the candles on his B-day cake), and then of course he rushed in :D.
I just did the math: this is the 26th time I celebrate a birthday with my kids (12+9+5), but it's still amazing at what speed they are able to rip off the paper from the presents :laugh:. It's always the same ritual: rip off, take a one-second look at it, then on to the next present, occasionally accompanied by a squeal. But after all things are open, they take their time to take everything in and inspect every present.
In one hour the hardest part (for us adults) begins: children's birthday party :P. I'll breathe a sigh of relief when it's over this evening :laugh:.
But it's so worth it: my little one has the best time today, you won't believe how happy he is :D

Have a wonderful day with your little one.You still found time to post Heath pics. as well I am seriously impressed. I used to dread the parties as I am naturally shy, but now with 10, 11 and 14 I miss them. The 14 yer old just wants to go to the movies, without me of course.I would of coure give anything to turn back the clock when we used to have Clancy the clown.My 10 year old daughter wants manicure and pedicure parties!!!! and the 11 year old, just wants to drive round in go carts.
Enjoy it while you can, and have a lovely day.
