Jamie Lynn Spears Spends 17th Birthday At Wal-Mart, And We Forgive Her
Just as we were about to laugh a little bit at Juno Lynn Spears' decision to spend her 17th birthday at a Ruby Tuesday restaurant and going on a shopping spree at Wal-Mart, we remembered back to our 17th birthday and stopped laughing. We were in college, in suburbia, and spent the day in class, then at some chain restaurant with our boyfriend, and probably at the movies in the mall. How quickly we forget that Jamie Lynn is still just a kid! Just because she's grown up before our eyes and starred in a hit show and, well, gotten pregnant, doesn't mean the girl shouldn't abandon her awkward late teen years and all the mall-filled nights that go with them. More details on our favorite real-life Juno and her day of kicking "16 And Pregnant!!!" headlines to the curb, after the jump.
The truth is, we secretly wish our birthdays were still spent more in the fashion of Jamie Lynn's, including one of this very lovey-dovey dinners that gets noticed by other diners. As a source told People, "They were like a little adult couple, very low-key." Like an adult couple? Ahem, notice anything adult just above the waistline? In any case, JL and fiance Casey Aldridge, a very adult-sounding 18 years old, headed to the Wal-Mart near his house in Mississippi after dinner to curiously look at sleeping bags. We suggest Jamie Lynn check with big sis Britney, who's been through this twice before. Britney may have boarded a few yachts, but we don't think she was planning any camping trips at 8 months.
