Do you want that time to pass fast because you don’t know how to relate?"<br><br>The answer for me is yes and no.<br><br>I am not scared of the relating. I can meet them where they are. But at times when I see what is going on in the world and how it is effecting our children. I wish that they were mature adults, able to make the right decisions.<br><br>Regarding Harry Chapin....I love his music. My favorite song of his is .....

Even if the fascination is drawing poop coming out of animal behinds. Which it is today. I hope they still like to talk to me when they are teenagers.
