Audio Books
Our family has gotten addicted to audio books. It’s something that we enjoy listening to in the car and it helps keep all of the kids entertained. We just finished a series about “Uglies, Pretties and Specials”. It all took place 300 years in the future and there were surgeries that you get when you turn 16 to go from being Ugly to being pretty. They make you the perfect height and weight. The recreate your face and teeth. Even your skin is polished to perfection. Sounds kinda nice, eh?
Mind you–I don’t really want any type of surgery–but it certainly beats weight losss supplements in my humble opinion. The kids seemed to enjoy the stories, but also got bored with everything being so perfect.
My oldest is 11. He’s a little round–but I’m a little nervous to see what Mother Nature has in store for him when puberty sets in!! Poor little fella!
