hmmm...not sure i can answer the question at the end...my daughter has been pretty good about that kind of stuff overall...yet, there are moments when she is not as quick to forgive as i would be in reverse. What's up with that??? lol.

I enjoyed this piece!

... and I bet you just jotted this down whilst feeding the washing machine for the umpteenth time, didn't you?! How I can relate - albeit not half so poetically. And how come you can write in such a high-style and yet remain totally accessible and "in touch" with the more humdrum things in life - and peeps like me!!! LOL You are certainly gifted and unique in this way. As to your question, I would say definitely, in my case, at about two-and-a-half... they have been looking after ME ever since! Trusting to themselves is the far safer option...!! I have always told them not to be fooled by my great age and "older" status... I am just a "grown-up" version of what they are - but with wrinkles and more history that they should avoid repeating! Love the way you have described the brittleness of the inner-self as we struggle with maintaining just who WE are amidst being other people's mother/friend/daughter/partner/spouse and dog owner! You have crafted a luminous shaft as always, here, Anita, that will penetrate many a "dark cell of drudgery". TY Kate xx PS: I will get to my assigned task by Friday evening as we are off on holiday for a week early Saturday... hope that's OK! Looking forward to it...

Lady A, these days kids are just like little versions of us...the beauty about their plights is that their mistakes can be more easily forgiven due to their age...but when we make one they hold us up on their pedestal and all this changes...cheer up...at least this episode inspired you to put together this great piece...which reminds dear sweet poet...Adam-ant is waiting naked and eager to help you help him take a bite out of the big red...hehehe...lolol...great poem...Fletcher B

kids always know more than their parents, didn't you know that? LOL YEAH, RIGHT!! :) stay cool, there will come a day when they said, "mom, you were right and i was wrong--i'm sorry" *then you can stick your tongue out at them and say "i told you so" LOL*

Too soon, I am afraid. Thank you for this one, it said it all. Oh, I am giving thought to your demand that I think in terms of a book or at least a story about my poem, "Dog Days of August." Thanks.

They know already. Their immortal side gives way to whim, adventure and daring and in doing thus....we, as parents...suffer. They finally figure it all out later...when they try on our shoes.

I'm here for you.

I have come to the conclusion, as a mother of adult children, that they NEVER do. Outstanding poem Lady A.
