I don’t know why this happened but it did.
Yep. This is my spawn. So proud. (shakes head) So very proud.
One of the hardest aspects of being a parent is having to stand idly by when people disappoint your children. You have to let them fight their own battles and deal with said disappointments in their own way. But… it is SO difficult to not get involved and get all Mama Bear on the friends and elders who have let them down and not treated them with the respect they deserve. My daughters are incredible people who are loving, dependable, funny as hell, and loyal. If you have let them down, you suck.
I had one of these once that went into elaborate detail about how a student of mine needed to resist the urge to shove things down his pants to entertain his friends. Upon much pleading from said student that his grandmother would “freak out” if she heard what he was doing, we came to an agreement in which his pants would become a lace strictly reserved for what is supposed to be there and that alone. This, my friends, is why I like teaching freshman.
