My daughter is home from college. While she has picked up a part time job, she's bored. So bored, she decorated the Christmas tree the weekend after Thanksgiving.
We were wondering when we set the tree up (an artificial one--a long story behind that as we always cut our own until 2007) if Lemmie at age 3 would have grown out of his habit of climbing up through the middle of the Christmas tree.
The answer is a resounding no. Sometimes you're surprised as you walk by the tree and discover a grey head sticking out among the ornaments. He's also managed to bend some of the branches as he weighs 12 pounds.
I'm also wondering if they have a special class in college which teaches freshmen to act as if their parents have no brains....and all of a sudden, she has become hyper critical of my housekeeping. Although I dusted yesterday, she decided it wasn't good enough and plans to dust again tomorrow. Sigh. If only it weren't accompanied by attitude. I think she's too old for coal and sticks in her stocking.

I think any child who wants to dust deserves her own duster and lots and lots of gratitude! I never had to deal with that child-rearing problem.
Good one, Kathy! I just wish that it would extend to the dishes she leaves me in the sink!
