My youngest son turns 20 years old today. For the first time in 8 years I no longer have a teenager in the family. I have to admit, the boys' teenage years were not so bad. We were the house that everyone congregated to, so we were able to keep a close watch on them. The hardest part was feeding large groups of boys. There always seemed to be an extra person or two at the supper table.
Now that I think about it, there was a lot of accidents as well. Andrew broke his arm in a bounce house and got hit by a rock at a monster truck rally, someone got hurt playing football, Chris got sun poisoning and missed 6 weeks of school, the golf cart got flipped a few times, and the go-ped was a bad idea right from the start. Between the 4 wheelers, dirt bikes, lawn mowers, skate boards, roller blades and bicycles, it is amazing they made it to their 20's.
Now all I have to worry about is college tuition, deployment, drugs and STD's. Bring back those teenage years!!
