New is something I try to avoid. New is very shiny, enticing, and works extra hard to make Old feel inadequate and completely outdated. New screams at me from billboards, store windows, glitzy metal zipping past me in the fast lane. New demands attention so much that it often uses force to achieve my glances. New dances on banners atop my email and pops up to surprise me on my favorite websites. How did New know I was reading a topic about him? New knows just how to manipulate me and draw me into wanting more, more, more. Does Old stand a chance against this over achieving, in your face, always attainable, very attractive, New? I would like to think so, but it's going to be a fight!
What do other mamas have to say about New?
