Moms Know Everything
As some of you know, I have a dear friend who has ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) and she can only move a few fingers, her head, and she can chew and swallow but someone has to feed her. Well, this gal single parented and raised 3 wonderful boys. Two of these boys are married but the youngest still lives at home. So, I'm over there visiting yesterday and "youngest" is packing to go on a camping trip. He comes into the room and says "Mom, where is my fishing pole?" (OKAY readers stay with me here.... SHE'S STUCK IN A CHAIR!!!!) My friend gets this "shit eating" grin on her face and says "I told you to put it away didn't I?" By God, she DID know where it was!!! She had one of her caregivers put it in a closet. She made him "work" alittle bit before she told him where to look. I tell you the MOM POWER is a force to be reckoned with even when she can't whip your ass.

good parental control is always a strange sort of non-threatening threat isn't it?
Hell yeah, I really think my girlfriend (the one in the blog) should teach a parenting class. She could sit in her chair and make those boys behave! It was a sight to behold!
I'm gonna go with you on this one. I've met both her and you (since you're my mom) and you're both good with that parental control. The only difference is that you could actually kick my ass if you wanted.
