TexasT's House

[TexasT]

One time when I was young my mother told me that she didn't care if I got as big as the side of a barn, that if I needed a whipping, she'd be able to give it to me.

When I got grown I happened to remember that conversation and thought I'd give her a little test.

I still, to this day, remember that whipping.

Well, we did have our share of eyerolling when they were teens...but overall, I think I was pretty lucky...compared to some of the parent's stories I've heard!

Yep, I am one of those parents telling those stories lol But my son is almost 31 (ee gads!) and he turned out pretty well which is what counts in the end :-) Now he has a 3 year old and I am actually not putting the mothers curse on him lol You knw, when you grow up you will have one just like you?

[TexasT]

I had one boy ...

Let me put it this way. I was always real, real nice to the guys running gas stations because I wanted to be able to help this boy find a job when he grew up.

Today ... he's an entomologist, is sought after for research projects by major corporations, is married to a university professor and has never really quit going to school and studying.

You never know about them ...

LOL...I remember my mother trying to give my older brother a whooping when he was about 15. They both eventually ended up rolling on the floor laughing and she forgot what she was mad about.
My sons were pretty good at keeping their shenanigans secret from me I think...and they both LOVE to argue with me, but they were never disrespectful. One of them is married now, and I'm gonna be a grandma by Xmas...Wahoo! THAT is really why I had to quit smoking!

[salemgold]

Oh my son is very respectful. Do you know that almost 31 yo he has never ever smoked a cig in front of us? That is weird because I was the same with my mom. Never smoked in front of her until I had my son and was in the hospital of all places! lol

So there's still hope for me, TT??? I LOVE my boys, but I do worry about their futures! Neither of them is "scholarly". Both are very bright, but just aren't very interested in proving it...

There's Nurse T! We sure could use you around here because there are some real sick people hanging around :-)

[TexasT]

Yeah Nursie T, there's still hope.

They might just surprise you.

And even when their not perfect their the best thing to have around that I can think of.
