She's Got High Hopes: Part Two
So then today, we were toodling down the road to visit a friend and we passed a sprawling RV dealership. I pointed it out to my mid-kid and asked her which giant beast struck her fancy.
After a second or two of deliberation she said, "I just want to get a small one. Something with one bed above the driver's seat and room enough for just me."
Well, that made me sad that we were all somehow black-listed from her future travel plans, so I tried to be pathetic and needy and ventured, "You mean you want to travel all alone?" (In my best patented mother's whine-y wail.)
"Aw, Mom. I'll be fine...
As long as I have a night light."

She'll keep me laughin' all my born days!
Cutting the apron strings already! A sad day indeed. You may be lucky to keep her until she's 16! The road is calling her...
Oh my goodness!!! How funny, yet sad for mom and dad at the same time!! Sounds like she is the comedian of the fam.
Oh well. Nice try, Mom. (I thought you did a really good pathetic and needy voice. Wow, that she didn't fall for it. : )
