More kid bragging

December 22, 2006 by David.

Now that I’ve written about Dustin, I’ll do some crowing about Sharlet’s daughter, Jill.  Jill is 20, smart as a whip, funnier than hell, very creative, an extreme extrovert, and a looker.  No, I said Looker, NOT Hooker.  She is attending the International Academy of Design and Technology in Nashville, TN, taking courses in fashion design.  She’s a natural-born entrepreneur and no matter what she chooses to do in life, she’ll kick butt.  If nothing is happening, she makes it happen.  Both kids believe they can do anything they want - an outlook that Sharlet deserves unending accolades for instilling in them.  One of Jill’s objectives is to know seven languages by the time she’s 30.  She spent a summer in Spain in a Spanish language immersion and nine months in Venice studying Italian, working, and in general creating a ruckus and breaking hearts everywhere she went.

She has her Barista certification, so, frankly, she is a coffee snob.  She thinks she’s going to die when Sharlet microwaves her coffee to warm it up and talks about how a coffee “doesn’t hit the tongue right.”  To me, all coffee tastes like shit.  Well, unless Jill makes it, that is.  (Geez, I’m gonna pay for that smart ass remark someday)

Bottom line, there aren’t two cooler step-kids in existance.  Or two kids, “step” or not, for that matter.  I love seeing them grow up, expand their view of the world, and I can’t wait to see where their lives will lead them.  As far as I’m concerned, they are my kids.
