So yesterday I dropped my baby sister off to the University of Georgia. This is her second year there and she was WAY beyond excited about going back. Almost a bit too much for our parents' sake if you ask me, but what can you tell an 18 year old? Oh well, we still love her.
My parents kept bp (the p is for Parker) for the day-turned-in-to-night-trip and apparently he was an "angel". How could this be? Where is this angel during the days I am with him?? Still amazes me how this could be the truth. This is the same child who screams when I walk out the door, but is strangely perfect for hours on end ten minutes later. Somebody should write a book about what all babysitters/grandparents do to our children to make them behave, because it's obvious that we as all parents are just doing it wrong.
Or perhaps our children are just spoiled? Yes, that's the ticket.
Oh well, he'll have the rest of his adult life to overcome the mistakes that Warren and I make. Aren't we all doing just that? This of course is a rhetorical question because my parents are perfect. :)
