Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for July 14, 2009

What goes around …

…keeps going around

Don’t say “because I care”, Val, say “because I don’t want to mistake you for a burgler if you come back and I need a name to give to the police if you don’t.”

Hopefully without the raging hormones and irrational mood swings this time…

So Val, this week you ask Grandma these questions and next week you ask Holly.

There’s too much estrogen in that family.

No chance, Lightenup. Adolescence, menopause, if it’s not one thing, it’s another.

I’ll have to remember those lines, ejcapulet, when my sons start trying to leave without volunteering the details in advance.

I remember many many years ago when my mom went bowling on her usual night (early shift) and didn’t come home til 2AM. I was frantic not knowing where she was or what happened. She went to a bar with her friend and lost track of time. My first words were ” they didn’t have a phone?”. It was then I realized what she went through when I was growing up. She cared and so did I.

ejcapulet thank you for the laugh i love thoes lines. i will one day use them. thanks a bunch
