I was never a hippie as a kid, I don't smoke dope, but I'd probably pass as a hippie now if I really didn't try...

..... I am not lazy or smelly, but my kids attend an alternative school which uses a co-operative rather than a competitive approach to learning, I recycle like Big Brother is watching me, and I am totallly involved with my kids' schooling and activities. And they call me by my first name. sometimes. They call me "monster" more often..... (works better in a crowd of kids trying to get their parents' attention....)
