    True. Although a bit of wisdom... Be nice to your children. They're the ones who pick your nursing home. :fogey:

    No worries. First day they say nursing home because I can't care for myself.... I'm buying the first sports car I can afford and tac'ing it out off a cliff with a bottle of whiskey in one hand and a finger in the air with the other! :laugh:

    Note that trying to leash a ten year old is like trying to nail jello to a tree or herd cats. ;)
    I tried to use one of those harness leashes on my boy when he was just under two. Yeah right. That was like trying to leash a 4 year old cat who had never had one on before. I took it off before he had a chance to break his neck thrashing around on the ground.

    ...this afternoon, I had a few errands to run after work. On that list was to return an item to Lowes. So I'm standing at the return counter watching folks as usual, when I felt something warm on the palm of my strong side hand which was hanging at my side !!!
    I flinched, grabbed the something and looked for the agressor, but looked right over his little head..... he was about 4, and looked up at me and asked.." hey, have you seen my mom? " It was obvious to me that he expected me to know where she was. So I hoisted him up, and as soon as his butt landed on my shoulder, he hollered "MOM ??" About this time, mom came around up the aisle, and started fussing at the little one, about not knowing where he was, when he said, "well, HE (pointing at me) knew where I was, but we couldn't find you..." Mom just stared at him, and I laughed..... then began making elevation adjustments to my "radar". :patriot:

    +1 for helping the little guy. I must have fatherly legs, because this has happened to me several times. Most of the times though, when the kid looks up - he screams and runs away LOL
