Good one, Art.
I guess I gripe about my kids here a lot. There's a lot of things I could want for them. I wish my oldest son hadn't spent several years supporting himself by petty thievery. I wish they wouldn't play around with drugs, even though it's just marijuana and a few minor experiments with other things. I wish my 20-yr-old would stick with girlfriends who are over 18. I wish my daughter would be a little more careful to stay away from guys who could be violent. I wish they'd support themselves and stay away from welfare, or else go to school and let me support them. I wish they'd take better care of their health.
They do a lot of things that scare the hell out of me. However, I have to say they're all good people. They call every once in a while to make sure I'm doing OK. They're generous to everyone, to the point where they don't watch out for themselves. They're all very creative, and they think for themselves. And I really like them. I guess that means that they turned out OK.
