I've had bad luck with my children

We've had bad luck with children; they've all grown up.
- Christopher Morley
#2 Son is 18 years old today.  My bad luck is that I still see him as this:


That's as fresh and filled with promise as moonlight on a Martini, or something.  Now he wants to get his motorcycle license.  Can't really blame him.  But damn, I feel old for a moment here.


Well, at least I can send him on errands to the store ...

    My son had a birthday this month. 'What do you MEAN he's 49?' I screamed at her.

    Congrats to him and to y'all! :-) You got him this far, now he's got to step out of the shadow!

    It was much harder letting go of the youngest ... I'm still struggling with that, just a bit.

    Not to add to your trepidation, but my son just turned 18 last month and wrecked his car 2 weeks later. Then he got a tattoo.

    But don't worry, I'm sure your son is much more responsible.

    (grin!)

    We had the wrecked car period, but no tattoos, as of yet.
