How did we make it to adulthood????
“How did we make it to adulthood?”
Ya beat me to it, but let me just add:
“How did we make it to adulthood without the care of Mother Government?” *SMIRK*
As a child, some of my fondest memories are those of falling asleep under the card table while the adults played cards, smoked like fiends and drank until dawn. I’ve slept on pool tables with pillows all around me as a baby, and in the dog’s bed. Mom has photos. :)
I am SO glad I am done raising my boys. Two are in their early 20’s and one will be 19 this December. When they were little, I’d let them sleep wherever they ‘passed out’ at the end of a l-o-n-g, hectic day! We’re a pretty ‘outdoorsy’ family, so it wasn’t unusual for them to sleep in a tent or in a hammock under the stars when they were little.
Heck, many summers we just set up “camp” out on the back deck and eventually fell asleep in sleeping bags while we watched the stars; for WEEKS on end!
Oh! And the back of the pick-up truck was always a great place to sleep, too. ;)
I wonder how many times over Mother Government would’ve tried to take my boys from me had she known how ‘abused’ they were, LOL!
