Summertime, and the livin’ is easy…<\/p>\n
(WAIT, hold that thought.\u00a0 The senior prom is tonight and number-one-son’s limo just fell through.\u00a0 Quick, where are the yellow pages?\u00a0 Call 10 places.\u00a0 No more available!\u00a0 But one guy knows a guy who knows a guy… rings us back.\u00a0 How about an SUV for 6?\u00a0 That’ll work.\u00a0 Cash only?\u00a0 The other kids’ parents can pay us back their share.\u00a0 OK, done.)<\/p>\n
Now as we were saying, as the lazy days of summer…<\/p>\n
(Wait, you’re driving to the next-day-party in the Poconos?\u00a0 Son needs to get his senior license at the DMV.\u00a0 Quick, find the birth certificate, the social security card and the 2011 tax return that proves our son is not, in fact, an illegal immigrant.\u00a0 Off he goes to the tuxedo rental place; he can swing by the DMV on the way home.)<\/p>\n
Isn’t it great once a kid’s senior year is over?\u00a0 You can just sit back and…<\/p>\n
(Wait, email just came in from his new University.\u00a0 What’s that?\u00a0 They need the health forms they sent us a month ago.\u00a0 They need to be returned TODAY?\u00a0 Quick, call over to the pediatrician, they’ve got that stuff on file, we can swing by on the way to the bank to get the cash for the SUV…)<\/p>\n
(Son just called, the debit card isn’t working down at the DMV!\u00a0 Quick, read him the credit card number…)<\/p>\n
So, as were saying, um…<\/p>\n
(What do you mean, “what’s a corsage?!\u00a0 No, we don’t know where your backpack went.\u00a0 Yes the camera battery is fully charged.\u00a0 What’s that?\u00a0 You need to bring 50 hamburgers, buns and condiments?\u00a0 No problem, we’ll just buy the frozen ones and you can bring it all right in this cooler…oh, don’t look in there, that’s disgusting!\u00a0 The barber shop called, they’ve got your backpack?\u00a0 Great, go get it!\u00a0 No gas?\u00a0 Just use the debit card…no, that doesn’t work…or, here…take this credit card…)<\/p>\n
Okay, he’s on his way, hope he has fun.<\/p>\n
