The Kid Grew Up


So today my kid is on his way to Tulsa with his roommate -- driving there in a car, like the two adults they are -- and I am here in my little writing nook feeling, well, pleased.

My kid has his own place. He makes his own medical appointments. He cooks his own meals and pays his own bills and when he wants to go to a concert, he books tickets and off he goes.

Look at this. I raised an adult.

Thank you! He's a great kid, though. I don't know how much I had to do with it, frankly.

I'm pretty sure parenting matters. It's not the only thing that matters, but it does!

It does, you're right. But I did get lucky! He's great.
