I have one who loses everything too (several cell phones, purses, books, you name it)and totalled three cars in the first three years of getting her license. Kids, gotta love em!<BR/>And thank you for calming me down when I was freaking out about my son's eminent flight out of the nest. My daughter was easier because she chose a local college and won scholarships to pay for her tuition, books and incidentals. All we did was install her in a dorm and check on her every now and then.<BR/>Again, thank you...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13080538.post-9932760914802141312007-03-02T15:41:00.000-05:002007-03-02T15:41:00.000-05:00Oh, I'm sure he won't misplace the stadium (or whe...Oh, I'm sure he won't misplace the stadium (or wherever they hold commencement...)<BR/><BR/>Actually, I applaud this child if he is so telephone-independent that he doesn't <I>need</I> a phone 24/7...Lisa :-]https://www.blogger.com/profile/02237889098638895390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13080538.post-91949747449074382702007-03-02T15:03:00.000-05:002007-03-02T15:03:00.000-05:00Here's a hopeful story for you,As a child my room ...Here's a hopeful story for you,<BR/>As a child my room was the stygian black hole of Calcutta when it came to tidiness or finding things. I lost so many things, more than once. My mom despaired of me. She enforced only one rule: that my door stay closed at all times to stem the tide of stuff and such. And she always said "I can't wait to see what your apartment is going to look like when you grow up and move out".<BR/><BR/>When I grew up and moved out, my apartment? Tidy, neat, everything in one place. My mom would even give me surprise visits, just to double check. Then she'd shake her head in anger and say "Why couldn't you do this at home?"<BR/><BR/>My reply: "Because you always did it for me in the rest of the house, mom"Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02785984092226524603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13080538.post-30523049818568078892007-03-02T14:25:00.000-05:002007-03-02T14:25:00.000-05:00A story told lovingly as only a mother can...congr...A story told lovingly as only a mother can...congratulations to Chicago Son.
