LOL! Oh dear--all so true, and some so funny. No, you're never READY, but hopefully you aren't just 14 either, because all of the above is true in some way. I will never forget:

When Luke was about 2 (now almost 22)I woke up one morning EARLY EARLY--4:30-5AM because of a funny noise. Staggered out to the kitchen to find the Son very carefully cracking and seperating eggs. Whites in one bowl, yolks in another. He had done about a dozen without getting any yolk in the white...........what did I do? "We" made scrambled eggs, much earlier than I usually even get out of bed.

When he was 5? Heard the "noise" about 2 AM--he was "doing laundry". He had put a whole box of detergent in the washer, and the suds were EVERYWHERE!!!!!! Oh dear god...........the good times do make up for the bad.

(mostly)
