All Grown Up

A couple of days ago I received a call from the baby of the family.

Kevin won't officially be grown up - ever - in the family. But, he will be 21 this summer. He's already told everyone we need not buy anything, cash is perfectly acceptable as a gift.

He has done his share of job searching. Trying odd jobs in OKC. He tried the Army for awhile then WalMart. But he has found a good fit for now at a casino. He's been driving a car that really needed a lot of work when he first bought it. So much work that Aunt Tammie felt sorry for him. Ok, that doesn't take much, but still the car needed work and he was driving in the dead of winter with no working heater.

So when he called the other day I had mixed feelings about what he told me.

He had just purchased a new car. That is wonderful news.

The new car is a Mustang. My heart sank. He is just a baby. It was just yesterday that he was jumping on his mom's bed, fell and broke his head. He requested a new head instead of waiting at the emergency room. Patty wouldn't buy him one.

How can he be old enough to drive a real Mustang? I immediately became the "mom" and said well drive slowly and don't wreck it.

I should've squealed with glee I guess. But he is just a baby...

Long days and pleasant nights
