Remember when I was all, like "WAH!" I am officially a mother of an 18 year-old (a.k.a. a fully-grown adult) and you all were, like:
"Really?"
"Aaaaand, you've only had 18 years to prepare?"
"Get over it, already!"
Or, maybe it was just the voices in my head (okay, you guys, shuddup for a second!)
Then again, raising 4 kids (not to mention, killer dust bunnies) I have grown accustomed to hearing and/or responding to at least 4 different conversations, at the same time (it's a gift) I am THAT good of a lis-sen-nuh.
Aaaaanyway, said 18-year old went out and got herself a job that pays in REAL money and everything (more than I got paid managing the fitness center, even!) with the promise of keeping the same flexible hours, once she starts college in September (don't EVEN get me started!)
Although I would NEVER admit it (out loud, anyway) now that 1 out of 4 of our kids are all grown up (mostly) I can't help but feel like, you know, "WAAAAAAAAAH!"
"Why don't you come on in, Mrs. Thompson."
[blink-blink-blink]
"She's a little nervous."
I was SO wrapped up in my thoughts (seriously, you guys, it's scary in here!) that it took me a few seconds to remember where I was and realize that, you know, a real person was speaking.
"Aaaand, she's asking for you."
You see, I took my oldest for her employment physical and she is STILL a little squeamish about needles (yes, she gets it from me) but, I stayed in the lobby because, well, you know, she's 18 and I was closer to the bathroom, anyway.
"Why don't you go ahead and hold her other hand, Mrs. Thompson."
As I stood there pretending to, you know, watch (mostly!) I quietly thought to myself, "She MUST be a Muh-thuh, too!"
"You just go ahead and squeeze, sweetie."
[eyes go wide]
"DAYUM!"
Note to Self: you are right handed. Next time, give her your OTHER hand.
