Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for November 02, 2014

Just wait until you’re a father, Andy. Then we’ll see how great of a granduncle Wally’ll be.

I agree with #2.

Haha that’s probably because they’ve figured you out better than you think Andy. :)

I’m confused, I thought Andy was Joan’s son but he calls Luci his “cousin”. Who are his parents?

When Jan gave a talk at Powells (World’s greatest bookstore), I asked her about Andy. He’s Wally’s nephew whom Joan and Wally took into their home for unspecified reasons.

I like babies too. We should share recipes.

Agreed Andy.

Lots of people say they want a puppy. Nobody ever says they want a yard covered with giant piles of turds.

Wasn’t it Winston Churchill who said something like “A baby is nothing but noise on one end and irresponsibility on the other.”?

Ditto

Andy is really enjoying Sally and that is great for a teen.For me when I had our two then children and they got older I felt at a loss and wanted to better myself. Told my hubby I am going to a technical college wow I lost so much on math. For English class I was really in the dark. I learned a lot. Now with my two adults no marriage and living at home also no jobs.

Despite the problems, I’m glad I did.

I have a nephew and two nieces. I love every moment I spend with them. They’re all under the age of seven (six, two and almost six months).
