Here’s a joke that is not even funny:
Why did the B cross the road?
Because his mom works now and cannot take him to drum lesson so he is walking there with two other friends. Crossing Route 9 which is actually an intrastate. It has lights and a crossing guard at 2:20 in our town (when school lets out) but, but but but
B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had just decided the other day that perhaps Ben could start to walk home on his own. I told him I would get him a key and a cell phone. The fact that he was not all wowed over the cell told me that he really was ready. But I was just talking about High Street, which is bad enough!
But Route 9?????????
I had bad dreams last night. Up at 4:30 thinking, “How come I can’t let my sons grow the F up? Why does every GD thing about those boys have to be so hard?” (I swear a lot in the wee hours).
Clapton had it wrong. It should have been: “Why does love got to be so hard?” Love is not sad.
But who wants to quote Jay Geils?

*My* 10-year old would cross a 4-lane interstate for a cell phone. On her knees. In the dark. Backwards. — Cathy in CT
Hey Susan,
You don’t get to do an amazing job of raising young boys into young men and get to keep them too!
this whole ‘phone maturity’ thing is very serious!
If you want to keep him you have to start implementing a crappy parenting plan (CPP) right now before it’s too late!
Nice to hear im not the only one who swears in the wee hours.
Hope Ben stays safe.
