GROUP THERAPY

Have you ever been in a group therapy session? It doesn't matter what the circumstances were. Some sit around on couches and cushy chairs, some sit on pillows and mats on the floor. OK, so that's all Grandma J remembers about group therapy. Well, that and looking at all the people and trying to figure out what the h.e.double toothpicks made them so wacko. Maybe wacko is too strong a word. But it's just a people watching instinct Grandma J has....

A favorite pastime of mine, is people watching...sitting in the mall and wondering just exactly what some of the loons do for a living, or trying to imagine what kind of sex life person they are attracted to. Sometimes it's a matter of figuring out who told them they looked good in size 3X low rise hot pants red and green checkered sweats.

Anyways, Grandma J was at her daughter's house yesterday....because her granddaughter called and said she missed her wanted to have her BF over, but couldn't without an adult in the house.



Never wanting to smother her grandkids and be deemed uncool, Grandma J brought a back-up chaperone....Phillip Johnny Bob. But things got a little too quiet up in the loft....so she snuck up there to see just what the gang was up to.



This scene struck my funny bone, and the diversity of characters and intent reminded me of group therapy. click picture to enlarge

Of course, another event made me happy and sad.....

My grandson got his braces....he's growing up fast, which of course means Grandma J is getting younger.

And.....they are the color of his favorite team..the Arizona Cardinals, red and black... and so is his new blackberry...geesh!
