My nine-year-old buddy, A, scared me silly when she said that she'd seen horrible things in a women's locker room. Paralyzed, I was afraid to ask for details. "I saw spiders," she continued, completely unaware of my reaction. "A huge nest of spiders!" I wish that spiders were the worst things I've ever seen in a locker room. Some things you can never unsee, and no amount of therapy will ever help.... |

My son (16) is taking his first trembling footsteps into the adult world by laundering his own clothes. My washer/dryer is very inconveniently located in a closet in a narrow hallway in front of our only main-floor bathroom. So when Kevin dumps two or three loads of (clean!) clothes on the floor, it's messy and in the way of everybody. "Pick it up," I told him. He picked it up--and crammed it on top of the washer/dryer and closed the closet door. I opened the door and was nearly buried in an avalanche of clean, dirty, and not-quite-dry laundry. Obviously, this is my fault for not clearly communicating my wishes. Perhaps if I throw away all of his clothes he'll get the message. Sigh. E- |

I had my neighbor's six-year-old grandson again yesterday and he surprised me by saying, "My doctor said I can eat all the candy I want." Could this have anything to do, I wondered, with a large stash of Halloween candy? "I can have candy for dinner, too," he said. Hmm. Really? "And for breakfast and lunch?" I asked him. "Yep. The doctor said it's good for me." "And what about vegetables?" "No vegetables! And no pork chops and chicken!" "What about chicken nuggets?" "Yes chicken nuggets. And ice cream." All I want to know is--is this doctor taking new patients? E- |
