Of course I knew that

Do you want to know when you are too competitive?

When your daughter starts to talk about what she is learning in class and you have to go home and google it because you don't want your 13 year old daughter to know more than you do.

What have I become? We had dinner today and she was discussing her day at school. She mentions that she has a test tomorrow in History. I ask her what is the topic and she mentions the "Progressive Era".

Shit... I remember that term, but I sure as hell don't remember the topic. She looks at me and then changes the subject. Whew... that was a close one. Normally she asks me if I remember that topic and we start to talk about it. What do I do instead of blowing it off? I go home and start to google it. I start to learn about the topic again. Just in case she wants to talk about it next week.

What the fuck am I doing? She's 13 years old. Next week she will be focused on some entirely NEW topic. I'm finding the need to get a phone that can google at a moments notice. Damn you iPhone, why aren't you available now?

Anyway, I've noticed my insanity and feel much better now. Not sure if it's becuase I realized how crazy I was or that I now remember the details of the Progressive Era. Crap.
