ok, so even my spouse claims that his mother never had an unspoken thought.....if it came to mind she said it.....so it should come as no surprise to my blood kin and to my cadre of readers that ecw chose a bride quite in keeping with his mamma's example.........keep this in mind when i say that there are those who are thinking about leaving the nest prematurely.........and to those young ones i want to voice caution.........yes, high school is a teenage wasteland.........you are certainly not the 1st to figure this out.........but it can remain a haven until you are ready to fly the coop....not intellectually, but emotionally....no one will argue that you have the brains to move on.......but until the hard veneer necessary to survive the real world has a chance to really crystallize, it may be wise to stick a little closer to home.......
