Comments on: Newsletter: Month Two Hundred Sixty Four http://www.thebiggertheyget.com/archives/191 A family is a unit composed not only of children but of men, women, an occasional animal, and the common cold. Ogden Nash (1902 - 1971) Sun, 16 May 2010 17:55:14 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Shelley http://www.thebiggertheyget.com/archives/191/comment-page-1#comment-158 Shelley Tue, 05 Aug 2008 05:11:17 +0000 http://www.thebiggertheyget.com/?p=191#comment-158 What a sweet post. I just had to comment, because I have three girls...one who at 16 has mostly grown out of the "I want to kill her" phase, one at 13 who is right smack in the middle of it, and one almost 6 who will hopefully give me a few more years before I want to kill her. I say if you survive the ages between 11 and 14, you're doing pretty well. I'm so glad none of them snapped my tailbone, that sounds pretty painful! Happy Birthday to your son!

My oldest son is a freshman and in that wonderful surly/slacker/smarter than everyone else phase. Your letter was beautiful and really funny and made me both remember how awesome a little kid he was and have some hope that there is an end to teenage rotten-ness. Thanks!

Maybe it will stop me from strangling the 6'2 18 year old downstairs who has the delusional idea that he's an adult just because he lives for college in 3 weeks. Happy Birthday--and it wouldn't be adolescence without at least one bout of underage drinking!
