Freddie, nice idea!

Gloat & Moan: my oldest daughter called me at about 1230am her tme, 1030pm mine, to ask for advice on how to get one of her 17 month twins to stop crying and go to sleep. Dad was trying to be tough. She took the phone in to their cribs so I could hear the certain cry. It was trouble, congestion, etc. Gloating that she followed my advice, gave him a decongestant and baby tylenol, took him to bed with her, got him to sleep, then put him back in his own bed, with the classical music they've heard since birth playing in the room. Called me back this a.m. to let me they both slept well.

Gloat: my son just bought his second house and is on his way to being a land tycoon. :-)

Moan: my youngest daughter, at 22, still thinks she's a lot smarter than mom and dad and knows all of the msyteries of life.
