AS I READ THE FOLLOWING CAPTIONS I STOPPED AND THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT THEY MEAN TO A PARENT.
I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE VOICE OF REASON IN MY SON'S LIFE. AT LEAST THAT IS THE WAY I SEE MY REACTION TO SOME OF HIS IDEALISTIC ADVENTURES.
HE THINKS I AM TOO NEGATIVE. HE IS MAYBE A LITTLE BIT RIGHTWHEN HE ADVISES ME, AND WHEN HE SAYS THIS IT IS WITH ALL THE ADULT SERIOUSNESS A 22 YEAR OLD MALE CAN MUSTER, THAT I SHOULD TAKE BUNGIE JUMPING LESSONS , LOOSEN UP, AND LIVE A LITTLE! HE DISCOVERED ME ON THE TELEPHONE ONE AFTERNOON LAUGHING AND HAVING A WONDERFUL CONVERSATION. HE ASKED AFTER I HAD HUNG UP, WHO I WAS ENJOYING TALKING TO SO MUCH.
I DID NOT WANT TO TELL HIM. HE PERSISTED. I FINALLY BROKE DOWN AND TOLD HIM. HE LAUGHED AND THEN SAID, " MOM, YOU DEFINTELY NEED TO TAKE BUNGIE JUMPING LESSONS, CAUSE THAT IS JUST SAD!"
I WAS TALKING TO THE LADY AT THE TELEPHONE OFFICE I HAD CALLED TO STRAIGHTEN OUT A CHARGE ON MY BILL THAT WAS NOT MINE, WHEN IN FACT MY SON HAD CALLED SOMEONE AND HAD NOT TOLD ME. WE GOT TO VISITING ABOUT OUR KIDS AND ACTUALLY HAD A WONDERFUL TIME. ABOUT 30 MINUTES WORTH.
HUMMM.............BUNGIE JUMPING LESSONS?
I WONDER IF I MAYBE TOOK UP BONSAI GROWING LESSONS HE WOULD TAKE ME OUT OF HIS " I THINK SHE IS BREATHING" CATAGORY OF WASTED MOMENTS AND PUT ME INTO AT LEAST " HOPE FOR THE FUTURE, MAYBE" CATAGORY? OH WELL, IF I AM HIS VOICE OF REASON,( HE CALLS IT NEGATIVITY) AND ALL 22 YEAR OLD MALES NEED ONE, HE WILL AT LEAST HAVE TO SLOW DOWN LONG ENOUGH TO HAND ME MY CANE!
EITHER WAY, IF YOU CAN'T THINK OF A REASON WHY YOU SHOULD DO SOMETHING , JAMIE SAYS TO DO IT......"CAUSE THE CHICKS DIG IT!"
