things i would have been too embarrassed to admit......

ok, so there were a few ladies-who-lunch in today......inquiring about my children and their summer plans.....all were quite impressed that our eldest had a fulltime job, and that he had gotten it on his own....one lady commented that she and her spouse ( a doctor) had hoped that their eldest would find a job to help them pay for the pricey stereo system they had installed in the car they gave him for graduation.............but he has so far helped friends to find jobs rather than look for himself........gentle readers......anybody who is foolish enough to buy a big-ticket item for a child without a repayment plan signed in duplicate upfront should not be surprised that said child is not in a hurry to find a job.......ah well.........she did ask if we needed any help at the restaurant.......nope....we have all of the help we could possibily need for this summer.......
