Brian and Mom,
Parenting 101
5:00 pm on Mother’s Day . . .
“Brian, did put your gym clothes in the laundry to be washed yesterday?”
“Oh – no I forgot.”
“Can you get them now?”
“Yeah.”
A few minutes of silence.
“Mom?”
“Yes?”
“I forgot I have this poster I have to do for English. Can we go get poster board at the store?”
“Now?”
“Yes please.”
“And Mom this project is confusing. I might need your help.”
“When is it due?”
“Tomorrow.”
Until Next time -

“Dad?”
“Yeah?”
“Can I borrow $20.00?”
“Sure, but can I ask what for?”
“Yeah I guess so. I need to buy you a Father’s Day gift.”
Happy Father’s Day to all of you who finance your own presents. I hope you had a wonderful day.
Until next time-

Jordan-Brian Age 5
Einstein said, “Space and time are modes by which we think, not conditions under which we live.” Really? Then he must not have paid much attention to his son, because our children are a constant reminder that time is quickly passing.
I witnessed a dose of time this weekend when I turned around to face two teenage boys in front of me. Cousins raised around each other since birth now stand as tall as me.
This year they start high school.
Jordan - Brian Age 14
No wonder I see the crowsfeet around my eyes and slight wisps of gray hair.
Another thing has changed with time. They’ve gone from being a couple of gigglers to too cool for school teenagers.
Now if I could just get Brian to put his dirty socks in the hamper before he is 25 and my face is hanging somewhere under my neck.
Until next time -

When I first became a mom, I was informed that during the toddler years, Brian would make huge strides physically, intellectually, and emotionally. These stages of development are called milestones. Once our children reach grade school we begin to forget milestones, until we are slapped upside the head with the teenager one: the hormone milestone.
With it comes a new form of communication language which I didn’t study for two years in high school and one year in college.
It’s mostly mumbling sounds of “Ugh” or some sort of short, grumbling noise-thing which makes me think I’m going deaf from all the rock concerts I went to in the 70’s and the too loud 80’s music I danced to (OK still dance to).
“Brian?”
“Grmmmmmmmhhhddddmmmm”
“What?”
“Gdmmmmmm mmmmmm m”
“How was your day?”
“K”
“Is that good?”
Shrug of the shoulders up with a “Hmm-m”
I think I understand the dog better.
Exactly when does this milestone end?
Until next time-
