Just ask my teenage kids ... at one time we had four teenagers at once. Down to two now and next year, when the youngest goes 13, our third hits 20 so we'll stay at two and then later one.
On that far slope now with rearing them within the nest ... but it doesn't get downhill as they get older.
Holding a Grandson now ... that's something else again as I have just learned.
Keep up the good work on that writing. The world needs to know that while we are not bigots, we aren't stupid either.
