So this morning I saw that the toilet paper roll was getting a tad low and was pleasantly surprised to note a spare sitting on the back of the toilet. So now I'm wondering did one of the kids actually take the initiative or was it the hubby? My thinking then goes down the mom-road... my kids are teenagers and will be heading out on their own in a couple of years, but are they really ready? Have I taught them the important things... the essential life lessons? Then I started reflecting how the definition of life lessons has changed since I was a teenager. Let's see... I learned how to properly change the toilet paper (0ver is Right, under is Wrong) and how to make a bed (the bright pattern of the top sheet down with hospital corners). I don't think my kids have learned those lessons. Maybe, I hope, times have changed and with them essential life lessons have changed. So while my kids and I have have had many great conversations about things I could never discuss with my parents... drugs, relationships, sex, finances, bullies.... I will just have to hope they can forgive me when their significant other reads them the riot act for putting the toilet paper on the roller wrong or making the bed incorrectly!
¡Hasta pronto, mis amigos!
