Thanks for small favors, huh?

No no no no no I will NOT let it happen! No one is getting older in my house! No one, I say.

Shalom Jill,

He’s going to be a freshman next year. Be thankful he didn’t do this two years ago (which is, I think, when most parents become embarrassments.)

B’shalom,

Jeff

Hi Judy – jinx – I just left you a comment on a different thread.

Yeah – I’m guilty too – few people are NOT guilty of using work to distract from looking at other problems we need to tackle. They say that avoidance is born of trying to not feel pain. That’s reasonable, and acceptable when the pain isn’t self-inflicted. But when it is, well – whether you are public or private, you have to face it, most times, even if it isn’t self-inflicted.

You ask such questions! Right now I’m dealing with this child telling me not to be seen but just to be dropped off and drive away! What’s with that!? Growing UP!?

Jill, thanks for the thoughtful post. I agree with you that it is a lose-lose situation. I also agree with that staying in the fray protects him from paying the consequences of his actions – it is all about avoidance.

Shalom Jill,

Interesting, what’s the balance between political and military monuments?

B’shalom,

LOL – again – thanks for the smiles. I’ve been up since 5am – eldest child of mine is on the annual journey to Washington, DC. The itinerary was very heavy on military stuff at first glance – anyone else ever realize that?

Shalom Jill,

Now the whole dancing with the Golden Calf thing is another issue.

B’Shalom,

Jeff – thanks for the giggle in the imagery there but I won’t be dancing with the golden calf.

We are all free to do it – but we’re also free to not do it. It just doesn’t feel right to me.
