The old Battle Axe post generated more than a few interesting comments. These got my attention:
“I can’t imagine any 12 year old boy having a mature thought like that or any 12 year old girl expecting a mature thought like that to pop into a potential boyfriend’s head. I’m sure both would be quite surprised if either was thinking like a 36-year-old Keats wannabe.”

My poor husband on the other hand…
Every time I see him at Brent’s Deli I say that same thing to him. “Poor guy.” 😉

I don’t blog a thing about my kids…of course one was an adult when I started blogging, and one is now an adult. I felt that this was MY blog, having nothing to do with them. My poor husband on the other hand…
