Now that Grownup Girl and Grownup Guy know they have jobs the money they will make is starting to sink in (though they have a truly astounding amount of student debt--become a PharmD--Doctor of Pharmacy--is not cheap).
GuG and I were texting today and had this exchange after she ran some numbers. I am green and she is gray.
How could she not 'get it'? You raised her!
Good job, Momma. ♥

A great perspective + the ability to turn a phrase ("lack of roving gangs ...") = right on, GuG!

Every single day, I appreciate the lack of roving gangs.

If my kids could only understand how the lack of roving gangs has affected their lives, I think they would be more appreciative of, well, everything. I try to tell them how good they have it, that most (all, probably) of the kids in their schools are well-behaved and don't actively inhibit learning. That is huge.
