more on 911

ok, so should we have actual need at home to dial 911.......we would have to go next door......as our daughter has discovered the telephone.......in the past week or so........who knew?.........we had grown used to our offspring being chips off the old block......short and sweet phone calls.....un-chatty cathys.......so to speak...........but this child is cut from different cloth.......she has told us that if she had a cellphone...............ha!!!!!we get no cellphone recption in our house.....she would have to go sit on the other side of the fence or by the soccer goal in the field.......not necessarily the look she is after.......no idea what she could find to talk about for so long.........on the other hand, i read an excerpt today of one of the books suggested for bookclub next year....plan b by anne lamont.....it was onm salon.com.....one of my favorite websites...and it featured a very personal discussion that the author had with her 12-year old son that she is raising alone......i have thought of this excerpt/book several times since.......about how i wonder whether this son has actually read her works.....and is aware of how exactly she has recorded their interactions.........i say this as a parent who has been berangued to the quick over the divulging of biographical information about offspring.......to the point that my eldest and middling children tell me little for fear i will blog it......they should worry so.....for when i adopt anne lamont's writing style....i will divulge more than they ever told me in words..........she does that so well.....expounds upon the very little thst her singular child discloses........the excerpt was 5 seriously covered printer pages......and maybe had 10 lines of actual dialogue from said child.........quite the spin........maybe i could try to interpret morning grunts that i take as good morning......surely i could get 1000 words out of such scanty emote.........i am disappointed that book club passed on this work....i have already ordered it online.....as well as the other club picks.....do not tell my spouse....as he is convince that our house will slide into the lake with the addition of volumes without the removal of an equal number.......is that some sort of physics law?............but if we shoudl start that slide.....we will nto eb able to call 911.....for reasons you should already understand.........
