Last one out of the nest…
The Brat leaves for college today.
You have no idea what kind of utter dread this fills me with. Not that she’s leaving, but that the strange, tiny creature I held in my arms at the tender age of 13 has not only figured out how to walk and communicate with the rest of the world, but she’s made me age 17 years in the space of what seems like a week. I would start complaining about how growing old sucks, but I feel my sciatica acting up again, and I think I’d rather just have a nice rest now, thank you.
I wish her well in her adventures, and know she’ll be back one day, Starbucks in one hand, Communist Party card in the other, weeping at how GWB is destroying the known universe by merely existing.

I give her 3 weeks before she has either:
A) Taken up a cause and let it consume her
B) Started wearing a beret
C) Started talking about the evils of capitalism
D) Shaved her head
E) None of the above
I guarantee at least ONE of these is right (OK, so it will probably be E)

Actually, I was most depressed when I discovered there would be no spoon killing classes. I finally asked someone when we would learn to kill someone with a spoon, and he gave me a quick and dirty description of how to hit someone on the head like 600 times with a spoon, but that’s really not very fun.
