re: #851 Irish Rose

I’m not in the greatest mood myself today, lizards. My youngest son (17) got into some trouble last night for letting someone talk him into making a really stupid choice, and I was dragged out of bed at 2am to deal with it.

I keep telling him that he’s going to be judged by the company that he keeps. He never wants to hear it… hopefully, he’s going to start hearing it now.

I’m heading out to the flower garden this afternoon, to work my frustration out on a patch of weeds.

I think it comes with the age. At 17 I had to explain to my parents how I broke my arm (riding on the hood of a car), got busted shoplifting (a mortal sin in my house) and was almost arrested but the scum bag I was hanging out with decided to hit the four cops who tackled us. I was merely removed from the premises while they beat him to a pulp.

You will hopefully laugh about this one day. Good luck. :)
