Saturday was my 10-year high school reunion. Prior to the reunion, my old group of friends had a barbecue at a park in Poplar Bluff so that we could meet each other's children, families, etc., and have a little fun prior to seeing all those other people we really didn't like much in school.

As I stood back looking at our group, I came to a (somewhat) horrible realization. As children were running helter-skelter I heard the exact same things that our parents used to say to us. That's when it hit me, WE'VE BECOME OUR PARENTS!!!

That may not necessarily be a bad thing, but it wasn't long ago we were the children. We were the ones causing our parents to pull out their hair. What happened?

It's amazing how much time has gone by since graduation. While it was good to see everyone again, it was also a little depressing, too. While I'm not "old" in the grand scheme of things, I believe that I feel a little older today than I did Saturday morning.

Feel free to share some of your high school reunion stories or observations!!
