One of the Joys of Mothering Adults

So much of the nuance of spoken language is missing in "cell-phone" text.  I was going to post an exchange with Tucker, but he started his own blog, Tongue in Cheek, Foot in Mouth, Hand in the Cookie Jar. (If there was ever a more apropos title, I don't know it.) You can read it on his blog.  It speaks for itself--bad punctuation and clever writing.  That's my Tuck.

 I must say, as painful as it is to have your kids grow up and move away and need you so much less, there are certain joys that are reserved for parents of grown-ups.  I'm beginning to savor these as well!
