FYI

When agreeing to allow your 9 year old to go to the library after school BY HERSELF in which she has to WALK to the library ALONE (across the street - but you see my point) and you have given strict instruction to walk directly to the library, call the instant you get there on your cell phone and do not dare step foot outside the door until I am there to chaperone my darling home.....

And then you decide that you are going to go spy on her to make sure she FOLLOWED EVERY DETAIL.

And while spying, only to see that in fact she did all of the above in stellar form and attention to detail, you go unnoticed. (THANK GOD - cuz, can you imagine if she SAW me there?!)

And all the while you are glowing at the fine specimen you are sending out into the world - you suddenly realize that you are NOT HOME in time for your Lil Man, who at all of 7 years old, is standing in front of your locked house when he gets off the bus.

Yes.
