The Changing of the Gods

There’s a moment sad in a way but happiness is the order of the day There’s a moment when mom and dad are no longer gods, though we’re not yet comrades… There’s a moment when yes, we’re glad in a sense, but with all our foibles and flaws exposed ~ you and I, mom, our little lambs have deposed

You are right. I think the psychologists call ages 22-28 'Emerging Adulthood' now. What a country!

I think they call those 'little replicas' matrushkas and patrushkas! ~ Dedushka and Babushka

I love the commercial on T.V. that has an old lady telling her neighbor next door as she watches her grown son returning home again, "YOU WANT THE KIDS TO LEAVE HOME? STOP COOKING WITH CHEESE!" Since my girls all left and made homes of their own I have missed them terribly. A fine write my friend God Bless, JB

Yes, comes a time when the fledglings leave the nest. But, believe it or not, in the bird kingdom most fledglings get kicked out because they are too big for the nest!

Unlike our kids, those fledglings... as our kids are WAY too big for the nest. Oh, well...
