18 and All Grown Up

Oldest ds's friend showed up at the house the other day to show off the brand-new motorcycle he got from dear ol' mom and dad on his 18th b-day. He also wanted to show off his new camera/cell-phone given to him again by dear ol' mom and dad on the occassion of his 18th b-day.

My oldest ds came in the house after said-friend left on said-brandnew motorcycle with said-brandnew camera/cell phone tucked away in his back pocket, and simply said, "Yep! All I got for my 18th b-day was a hurricane."

LOL

Then he smiled at me, and I gave him a big hug! This is one 18-year-old I know who has grown-up fast, even without the motorcycle and camera/cell phone.
