kids these days

on monday, i was on the computer (general family use downstairs) and erin had forgotten to log out of her AOL IM account. so i get a pop up window from psychoboy02 (which of course means that there are at least two others out there).

then the words pop up, “erin motherfu%*&n bean … how are you doing?”

i chuckled and said – “nope, erin’s mom here – how are you doing?” we actually had a nice minute and a half chat

everyone i’ve told this too says too bad i didn’t say “nope erin’s mother fu%*&n mother here” – oh well, not fast on my fingers.

erin and i laughed about it the next day – it’s hard to watch your children emerge into adults.  it’s easy to see why my mother FREAKED OUT!  she is every bit as wonderful as the youngest bean.  she keeps her struggles more to herself and, what i really admire is, when they peek out, she is honest about them.

peace to you and yours
