Zenith: Gus and I can't be your "flower girl" and "flower boy", Aunt Cathy. Cathy: Of course not! I didn't realize you... Zenith: We reject all gender-specific labels. Also, we can't be "flower children." Cathy: No! You're much too... Zenith: Opposed to false advertising. There's really only one answer. Cathy: I know. Thanks anyway! Never mind! Zenith: I'll be your "flower teen" and Gus will be your "flower pre-teen." Cathy: Um...Andrea?? Andrea: You can't exclude them now. They studied age discrimination law in summer camp.

What Andrea and the kids forget is that the concept of “age discrimination,” as with all forms of discrimination, only applies to the members a protected class, and in terms of age discrimination, the minimum age at which a person becomes a member of the protected class is 40. Simply put, there’s no such thing as a claim for reverse age discrimination — the kids wouldn’t have a legal leg to stand on!

Well, she IS the one who came to them! She should be happy they even want to be a part of her wedding. I don’t know of many other teens who would!

Some couples have a junior bride and groom, but that would be a little strange with them being siblings. Maybe they can be a bridesmaid and groomsman.
Hello Cathy clan! My children are exhausting me. My mini-me started school this week so I’ve been getting up before 6am and I’m back in school with classes starting at 5:10pm. In between there my 10 year old is at home until Monday and my big boys need rides to work and school. I think I’m one of few parents who dreads when school starts.

Hello and Happy Friday, fellow Cathy fans. Hope everyone had a really great day today! I saw this on the “Pop Culture Shock Therapy” comic strip site earlier today so I thought I’d share it with you. Enjoy and I’ll be “seeing” you again tomorrow. Have a great weekend!!!!! :-)

Y’know, that just might work. In theory, anyway.
