Today: Forever young.
Last summer, we were enjoying a day at the beach with my parents when I overheard quite the conversation. One little girl yelled to her little girl friend, as they splashed at the shoreline,
“If we drink the magic potion, we can be baby mermaids foreverrrrr.”
I’ve adopted this as a mantra of sorts. I mean, who wouldn’t want to be baby mermaids forever? My magic potion is a blend of daily vitamins, 3 peanut M&M’s, some spinach, and two drops of anti-wrinkle cream.
Speaking of being forever young, I sort of love that Forever Young (Youth Group’s version played during Napoleon Dynamite’s dance scene) found its way onto a Jay-Z album. I’m a bit obsessed with the video.

…especially those last few seconds.
Also On Tap for Today:

How do you stay young?

I love your potion. Mine would have to have red wine and chocolate in it.
I think exercise is a big key to staying young. XD

I love how much simpler life was when we were young. A magic elixir could fix everything.

I remember wanting to be a baby mermaid forever until I read and reread and rereread The Little Mermaid and understood she died at the end. Shocking.
My magic potion is two coffees, a fist of edamame, 2 squares of chocolate, a bit of gym and cranberry complex. Potent I tell you.
