He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. {Ecclesiastes 3:11}

Mother like daughter.

So it dawned on me today that I have my mothers genes [obviously]. I remembered today that used to make fun of her and get annoyed with her when she would call her girlfriends "girl". It pretty much drove me crazy. It just felt weird, and I couldn't understand why she would call other women "girl".

Well I am now my mother. Yep. It's happened. I've hit that point of becoming like her.  The title "girl" is no longer a frustrating annoyance, but instead a common way of addressing the women around me. It's in my DNA, but took 20 odd years to come out!

Either way, if you hate being called "girl" I apologize in advance.

It's just funny how mindsets change over time. I'm definitely not the snotty high schooler I once was. I can now own up to the fact that calling my other lady friends "girl" is actually a term of enderment.

So shout out to you mom! You were right all along. ;0)
