When I asked my son what the giant stack of pizza boxes was doing in my kitchen, he replied "It's an art piece I'm completely insulted". I had been gone for five days. He followed this up with "I'm an artist mom. It's the life I'm choosing to lead."
It seems to me that for the vast majority of species on this planet, a male of almost nineteen years old would be reaching the end of his years; an elder and possibly a leader of his herd, pack, whatever.
Only a human male of this age is unable to live alone and look after his most basic needs without significant assistance from domino's pizzas.

Another day...
It's 9pm, I just took off my boots (finally) and sat down on the couch. I'm having to balance my laptop in one hand and type with the other because both my cats are sitting on me. I'm wondering how I can sew my trousers while the cats are practically wearing them; I'm trapped under the cats now and the DVD remote doesn't turn on the television. (Who knew).
In a recent conversation with my son I said the following; "I didn't give you that money so that you could take your hedgehog on a trip to San Francisco".
Let me just say that when I was a young girl growing up on the mean streets of South East London, I never thought that one day those words would be coming out of my mouth.
Then again I didn't expect my daughter to ask me if, on the weekend, she could go and hang out with a group of boys in a drainage pipe (....a snap-off? Sharks v Jets? A drag car race? John Travolta and Olivia Newton John?). She is supposed to be the voice of reason in our house. I told her she lost me as soon as she said 'group of boys'.....oh the endless joys of parenting.

Tell it to the judge
Your Honor, I am happy to have my marriage to Mr ___ declared null and void. That marriage was the worst eighteen months of my life and I have no problem with an anullment.
What I DO object to however, is the attempt by Mr ___ to besmirch my character by accusing me of bigamy and fraud. This is a ploy on the part of Mr __ , which he hopes will somehow serve him in our upcoming child custody case. As I showed the court on October 4th 2010, the laws of bigamy do not apply here , pursuant to CFC 2201a. There was no fraud perpetrated on Mr __. He knew I was married, we discussed it; we met with a lawyer and discussed it.
By all means, let us resolve the issue of this marriage today, but let the record show that
I am guilty of neither bigamy nor fraud.
