I recently went to my kids’ school to have lunch with each of my boys. When it was time to sit down with my third grader, he introduced me to his “girlfriend.” It was my first time meeting her. One of the first things she asked me was whether or not I was “funny like Tyler?” Tyler is my older son. He jumped in before I could respond, answering, “Oh yeah. He’s funny on TV every day.” His girlfriend excitedly asked, “Oh, you have you own YouTube Channel?”
“No. I’m on TV,” I replied. “Channel 18.” Learning I wasn’t on YouTube, this 9-year-old girl gave me one of the most disappointed looks I’ve ever seen. It was the kind of look I imagine she’d give if she were told she had to go to summer school.

A Cool Girl's Bedroom
WHEN DESIGNER JACY PAINTER KELLY, owner of Jacy Painter Kelly Interiors, took her family to New York City last summer, her 10-year-old daughter Lucy went crazy for the cool urban vibe of their downtown hotel room. It gave Lucy the itch to makeover her own bedroom in their Fort Mill home. She wanted more mature accents like silver wall sconces and velvet pillows, paired with punk rock elements like a graffiti-inspired bed frame and pink neon sign. Luckily her designer mom knew exactly how to tie it all together.
