Going to roller skating parties in Jr. High? I am almost positive that everyone experienced a Jr. High roller rink party. I had been living under the assumption that with the digital age roller rink parties had become a thing of the past. Something that my younger sister would never experience.
However, I found myself proven wrong in that assumption this evening as I found myself participating in something I hadn't even thought about in years. The Jr. High roller rink birthday party.
While I might have been the oldest person there by at least ten years, I had a blast. I skated. I hung out with my sister and her friends. And I realized my hopes of becoming a roller derby girl are probably a little fanciful. Especially since I had a hard time just standing on the skates. That's not to say I didn't pretend that the rink with it's columns and lumps and Christmas lights wasn't a roller derby track. You'd better believe I did.
Aside from my daydreaming, I'm glad my little sister could participate in that old tradition, and I'm glad she's not too cool to keep me from sharing it.
