yes...i am still the mother of teenagers

Yes, I am still the mother of teenagers.

And, yes, I can still find head-banging humor in this fact.

I am experiencing one of those moments right now.

Younger and the new boyfriend (she has been boy-free for almost nine months) are downstairs "doing homework."

I just walked into the dining room to find Hope--my dog--lying at the top of the stairs staring down.  Her head was cocked one way and then she would turn it the other.  I tried to figure out what she was doing; there is nothing to see at the bottom of those stairs.  Then I realized she was intently listening to something.

So I listened too.  And there was the unmistakable sounds of kissing.

I did not need to hear that.

I need to go find the hard liquor.
