I have some advice for moms too. Maybe none are as silly as me and don't need this, I hope.
But anyway, on July 4th of last year I wrote my son for the last time before we left to go to San Diego. I had recently finished a picture poster for my younger son's high school graduation party, complete with glitter glue, which I thought looked pretty awesome. I then proceeded to use the same on the envelope flap after I sealed it and sent it off in the mail. My son was always happy to get mail from me, but I royally screwed up his day on this occasion.
After he opened it and read it, they were called back to line up outside for their DI, and his DI saw the glitter on his hand. Needless to say, he didn't think it was pretty and really embarrassed my son about it "What does this recruit have on his hand?" "Sir, this recruit does not know what is on his hand!" Then his DI held grabbed his offending hand and held it 3 inches away from his face and repeated the question and then asked him if he was trying to look pretty for the other men. He then had to do extra PT all day.
My son was not pleased, but laughed about it later. I apologized profusely. LOL
LOL!
