I do, I do! I love reading about the valentines day breakfast, the card making, and class valentne's party. I want to eat all that breakfast food and snacks, and make valentine cards all over again. I found McDonalds pointless but loved Sam's gag gifts!

I meant it was as random of the Brewers to go to McDonalds as it was for Tammi to suggest the aquarium.

Everyone I know was having a birthday party at McDonalds back in the 80's and early 90's, that or Chuck E Cheese. I didn't do either, I hated eating out as a kid and was fussy about food, so I guess I got treated like a princess at my home birthday parties That was random, now back on topic. How did Sam and Charlie agree to join the entire family at their age for a valentine's day mcdonald's lunch? I can understand if they're on a road trip for a stop over, but it's kind of unrealistic haha I wish one of their girlfriends showed up to laugh at them, I think I love drama like that sometimes I also think that picture of Karen putting on her new barrettes is cute, the dress is very pretty.

I think Charlie and Sam might've been embarrassed if they ran into any girls their age there, but I don't think it's so unrealistic that they went with the rest of their family... teenage boys are usually quite agreeable to any plans that involve you buying them food.

It was just lunch, and besides, our culture does a disservice to young people by assumin they don't want to be with their families.

I guess you're right and it's nice to stay young for as long as you can cause you have the rest of your life to be grown up, but I think in the first half of my teens, I was rebellious and around people who would act like that too though I toned down in the second half, so my view is a little distorted. Plus it doesn't help that there's stuff like that on TV and books that keep showing this as well.
