On facebook, you can comment on peoples' status... So I had to comment.... And below is how the conversation transpired...

Nathan Alexander at 9:08pm January 28

Tiffany Alexander Baker at 9:11pm January 28

Nathan Alexander at 9:11pm January 28

Tiffany Alexander Baker at 9:12pm January 28
Is Mexican skating really that different from North American skating? I never knew... and have ALWAYS wondered......

LOL.... I do make fun of him a lot.... But I'm just joking around... After reading through the conversation a few times, I realized a few things...
1.) I want to remain a 'friend' to my brothers. Almost like a 'peer.' I realize that I am eight to ten years their senior, but I try REALLY hard to stay on the cool side of adult with them. My parents can be their parents.
2.) That doesn't mean that I don't want to be a good role model to them, like my parents.
3.) I do think it says something that Nathan shares his facebook profile with our whole family. You are allowed to post pictures of yourself and your friends can put pictures of you on there. Also, you can tell about yourself and add different things that kind of tell about you. He is willing to share all of this with all of us: Kayla, Me, MOM AND DAD.
4.) I think this proves the boys are good kids. Dang, I'm not sure I would have been willing to share that part of my life with my 'rents at his age.
5.) I think the conversation above says a lot about Nathan as a person:
a.) He is tired because he SHOVELED SNOW IN OUR DRIVEWAY ON HIS DAY OFF SCHOOL because HIS MOM'S CAR WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET OUT.
B.) He knows he's spoiled.... He knows it so well that he doesn't acknowledge it at all.
c.) The spoiled rotten kid is going to Spring Break with Mom and Dad to Cancun. He's a Freshman in High School. I would've most likely gone with my parents when I was a freshman, but I CERTAINLY wouldn't have thought about SKATEBOARDING while I was there.
GOOOOOOD NIIIIIGHT, that is a good boy. And I couldn't be a prouder.....mentor.....peer.....sister.....friend.....alright..... ADULT..... GRRRRR....... ;D
LOVE YOU, NATHAN!
