When we were wokring on our ebooks in Mrs. DLP's office, and she mentioned that we shud all write a blog about how our parents met. So here's mine! So my parents, Cynthia and Glenn Olson, met all the way back in high school. Both of them actually went to Maine East right here in Park Ridge. Now they claim they didn't really know eachother in high school, but I have heard my mom used to admire his looks I don't know if that's true but the thought of that actually makes me puke a little bit. My mom wasn't familiar with my dad back in the 80s but she was friends with my dads older sister Barb. I guess they both were on the water ballet team at Maine East or synchronized swimming whatever it's called where they kick their legs in unison. So they lost touch but then Barb got married and invited my mom, Cynthia, to her wedding. My mom and dad "met" there. They were in the same grade so they knew of eachother but they never actually like talked it anything. They dated for SIX years. My mom said my dad was scared to get married so she told him she was going to buy a condo by herself and then he like freaked out and that sped things up. I think it's so weird that my parents went through all four years of high school in the same grade but never became friends or really even talked. It's weird to think like what if some random guy at Lincoln I'll marry some day it's just so weird. I guess fate didn't really work out in high school so it had to step in a couple years later. I'm just glad they finally met because without them I wouldn't be here, and all of your lives would be waaaayyyyy too normal.
