As the mother of three teen-age
daughters, this phrase usually means an argument is about to
happen. One girl will whine, "you cannot borrow that,
it is my FAVE." The next will start in with, "but you
have on my FAVE tshirt right now!" And so it begins. I
shudder. One of the problems with teen girls is that
EVERYTHING is their fave. They have fave shirts, hats,
songs, crushes, drinks, snacks--I could go on and on and on
(and they do!).
When I started this article, I
was sure I could convince myself that they would grow out of
it. That having fave after fave after fave was just a
teen girl thing. But then I sat down to make my own
layout. And realized that I have fave fonts. And
I have fave designers. And fave kits. And fave
colors. And that is just in scrapbooking--my fave
hobby.
I thought maybe it was just a
girl thing. Until I walked into my husband's
wood-working shop and looked around. He still has
posters of his fave hair bands from the 80's on the wall.
I tiptoed back out without even asking for his opinion.

Notes: My favorite thing right now is looking back at those impromptu
phone photos, so I decided to scrap one even thought it WASN'T taken with my DSLR!
Just because a picture isn't portrait quality doesn't mean that it doesn't show a
memory that you want to record. In this case, my "phone photo" showed that the boys
CAN have a good time with their mom (gasp)!
Journaling: All of our "silly" shots end up on the camera that came with my
phone. We were downtown at a Silver Spurs Basketball Game and the boys' tae kwon do
school had an exhibition there. Since then, Ian has left tae kwon do for Cub Scouts,
but Alex is still going strong.
