cool: Playing with Barbies. [Smile]

uncool: Reaching the age where you feel like you can't admit that you like to play with Barbies because you're afraid of what your friends think, even though they are all at home playing with their Barbies too. [Frown]

cool: Reaching the next age, the one where you don't care what your "friends" think and you'll play with your Barbies whenever you get darn good and ready. [Big Grin]

uncool: Suddenly realizing you don't want to play with your Barbies anymore. [Grumble]

Cool: Getting together with 2 other friends and planning to dress up as Leprachauns for Halloween.
Uncool: The fact that people think that at one point you are too old to trick or treat. Stupid silly people.

uncool: Walking around for four hours and getting less than a quarter of a plastic bag worth of candy (just because you're almost six feet tall). [Grumble]

cool: Finding all your short friends w/out driver's licenses and driving them to the rich neighborhoods for a cut! [Evil Laugh]

uncool: One of them refusing to give you a cut.

cool: Taking what we wanted anyway!

uncool: Saying when I was nine that nothing could ever stop me from trick-or-treating when I'm twenty-one, and the fact that no adults bothered to tell me that no one would give me candy regardless of whether I trick-or-treated or not.

cool: Having kids that are old enough to trick-or-treat but not old enough to know I ate their candy! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! [Evil Laugh]

True story, all of it.
