I just walked into my sons room.
I turned.
I walked out.
Who instructed these two in the use of explosives?
When did it go off?
Why didn't I hear anything?
I could freak out.
I'm not going to.
I'm just going to give them both big hugs,
Assure them that my love is not based on performance,
And tell them they have 24 hours.
I will be outside reading if you need me.

stef.. I love you as a mom.. enjoy your 24 hours of waiting to see what may come!
ReplyDeleteHaahaha that is hilarious! And a good decision!
ReplyDeleteThanks ~ both of you beautiful ladies. Nothing like the escape of a good book.
ReplyDeleteI don´t know if i should say something... or shut up ?!...(still thinking)...(still thinking)...F*ck it! here goes: When i was a kid i was really stupid, i mean i did stupid things that endangered my life many times.I dodged trains, with other little idiots and wasn´t killed because i was lucky, and done a hundred dangerous things more.And why ?, because my mom thought i was a little cherub and dad wasn´t around.
ReplyDeleteOver the years i´ve seen guys dying from drugs,alchool,aids,violence and sheer stupidity.
We all had one thing in common,our moms and dads blamed the "others".
I guess i was one of the lucky ones.
So, don´t panic,relax,but remember that kids are always trying to push the limits, we as parents function as the brakes.
We don´t have to be over zealous and over protective...just aware, after all we weren´t cherubs ourselves.
Sorry for the long post, and ...sorry.
Bic ~ sounds like you and my husband might have grown up together! I blessed to have a husband who understands the harsh reality of the world, what it's like to grow up without supervision, and what NOT to do. So glad you have come through your youth to such a great place!
ReplyDeletep.s. to all ~the explosive reference was symbolic, not literal!
ReplyDeleteIt was only later that i understood that you were metaphorically speaking and realized that i misunderstood your words.
ReplyDeleteI felt ill,and wanted to apollogize to you.
I was thinking about the harshness of my words,i do that somethimes,not because i´m bad just because i care, but i often over react.
You are a very balanced woman, there is a lot that i´ve learned from you, so allow me to gently kiss your hands and thank you for your kindness and understanding.
Little sister, love prevails above all other things !
Thank you, you have a wonderful family.
Bic, you are a sweetheart, and your words prove you care.
ReplyDeleteI love to see what other hippie folks read, thanks for sharing. (Even though I tend to escape into the worlds of mythology and novel reading once the pc and tv are shut off:)
