However, I agree with Lorna. It misses out the thrill of hearing your child play Mozart's clarinet concerto at ther graduation from music school, the one to one quality time to and from University six times a year; the pride at numerous graduations; the wonder of hearing a child who could not speak, say his first words and confound medical experts; walking a beautiful daughter down the aisle; seeing your son's choice of girl for a wonderful wife. Paying for it all is a privelege. The thrills outway the spills. Who wants a clean house and squeaky clean adulthood anyway!eeyorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18266932809537776443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22247108.post-10059803117915243952009-03-18T18:25:00.000+00:002009-03-18T18:25:00.000+00:00I didn't really think it was my mum posting... do ...I didn't really think it was my mum posting... do you think it might have been! =o)MortimerBoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14350657082481487596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22247108.post-38259412328504394662009-03-18T18:18:00.001+00:002009-03-18T18:18:00.001+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.WeepingCrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00220836185673764089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22247108.post-18781165460820621732009-03-18T18:18:00.000+00:002009-03-18T18:18:00.000+00:00She only means you all got out alive.She only means you all got out alive.WeepingCrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00220836185673764089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22247108.post-70184833002384423482009-03-18T16:44:00.000+00:002009-03-18T16:44:00.000+00:00aw thanks mum... =o)aw thanks mum... =o)MortimerBoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14350657082481487596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22247108.post-35410401831103794142009-03-18T16:43:00.000+00:002009-03-18T16:43:00.000+00:00Very funny.
