Saturday, January 17, 2009. The mysteries of teenagers. Today I got my third note in a row from a family where the teenager has grabbed my book and finds it funny and the mother can't get it back to read it. This is completely unexpected. I honestly never imagined teenagers would be my audience. I think they must be as curious about how we view them as we are about how they view us. Kind of like when you go to the zoo and look through the glass at the monkeys and they're looking right back. Reading the (...

Beth Harpaz, author of "13 Is the New 18": Zen and the art of motherhood maintenance

http://bethharpaz.blogspot.com/2009/03/zen-and-art-of-motherhood-maintenance.html

Sunday, March 15, 2009. Zen and the art of motherhood maintenance. I was relating a story to some colleagues the other day in which one of my children told me a convoluted tale involving some of his fellow students, a teacher and a controversy over homework. It's so convoluted that it would be pointless to share the details here. In my mind, though, the most important thing is: To thine own self be true. Did you behave honorably? If you did, then that's good enough for me. Beth Harpaz 13isthenew18.com.

Beth Harpaz, author of "13 Is the New 18": Antibiotics

http://bethharpaz.blogspot.com/2009/04/antibiotics.html

Monday, April 20, 2009. Over the weekend, my younger son's face swelled up on one side. He looked the way kids used to look when they got the mumps, before there was a vaccine. He was in so much pain he was crying. We called the dentist, who put him on an antibiotic. Within two hours, the swelling and pain were mostly gone. I don't know how anybody ever survived before modern medicine. Beth Harpaz 13isthenew18.com. Labels: miracle of antibiotics. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 13 is the new 18.

Tuesday, December 30, 2008. I signed my teenage son up to get lifeguard/CPR certification over the holiday break, figuring he oughta do something constructive and not just hang out for 2 weeks. He passed the class, yay, and came home and told me and his father that he now knows exactly what to do in case we have a stroke. Beth Harpaz 13isthenew18.com. Labels: lifeguard CPR course.

http://bethharpaz.blogspot.com/2009/04/cordula-volkening-in-memoriam.html

Wednesday, April 29, 2009. Cordula Volkening, in memoriam. A dear friend passed away a week ago. She was an artist, a mother and a free spirit. She leaves two children, ages 13 and 16. Her heart was indeed wild and brave. She lived her life with tremendous passion and she faced her death with enormous dignity. I hope when my time comes I can be that brave and true.

Beth Harpaz, author of "13 Is the New 18": The dark side of 472 Facebook friends

http://bethharpaz.blogspot.com/2009/03/dark-side-of-472-facebook-friends.html

Sunday, March 22, 2009. The dark side of 472 Facebook friends. I first joined Facebook a couple of years ago basically to spy on my teenager. He refused to friend me, and told me "Facebook is for teenagers.". I got over it, and decided to find my own friends. Colleagues from around the world, neighbors, cousins, high school classmates. It was really fun for awhile and I became quite addicted. The boundaries melted, too many random people, too many people whose names pop up and I'm like, HUH? I'm the trav...

http://bethharpaz.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html

Sunday, August 21, 2011. Everybody has 9/11 stories. With the coming of the anniversary, I have been thinking a lot about mine. They are tiny, tiny snapshots of what happened that day. Here are a few of the stories I have, and the stories I heard from others. Riding the train across the bridge into Manhattan that morning, we could see from the window that both towers were on fire and shaking. A man seated in front of me said, "Those towers will never fall. I'm an engineer, I know.". 13 is the new 18.
