Go, Anita :-)<BR/><BR/>*Such* a powerful column by Anne Lamot. I'm a huge fan of hers, but had no idea she was writing accessible stuff over there, so I thank you immensely for the link.<BR/><BR/>And don't worry, Anita -- the teen years are not necessarily all that bad. Her column did remind me of a time when some infraction or other had caused me to hustle my son into his room (probably in hopes that I would not strangle him in the kitchen) at the door to which he turned and said "This is that last time you get to send me to my room, Mom -- I'm too big for this now!" (Sigh) How do they know this stuff?<BR/><BR/>But your sweet Conor has a long way to go before the slobbery kisses stop coming, Anita, and even if there's a bit of a bad spell in the middle, he's really not going to go bad on you between now and adulthood. <BR/><BR/>Enjoy the smooches, though -- they're more than likely to turn into just a passing grunt of acknowledgement on down the road -- at least for a while.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
