House broken – evident by amount of time spent in bathroom.
Good appetite, but fussy eater. Has a fondness for Subway coldcut footlongs. Will eat vegetables when hidden by dip. Does manage to keep food on plate and milk in glass.
Knows a number of manners, but only displays for guests and mother’s friends.
Likewise, recognizes several commands, but usually tilts head while pondering meaning. Often chooses to ignore, or purposefully misunderstand. Example: Empty the dishwasher, clean your room.
Loves to play – Wii, computer solitaire.
Heads turn when taken for a walk, shopping, or to the mall.
Attracted to other similar children via Facebook.
Sleep patterns vary. Often stays up all night to complete school assignments.
Mother would like to keep, but child is becoming increasingly independent and needs new stimuli and surroundings.
If no takers, will send to university.

You captured my attention from the very first words. I was hoping for a happy ending and kept hoping that that was what you were going to give me. Thankfully you did. I think every parent can relate to this one. I really enjoyed reading all your pieces Gwenda. Nicely done!

You cracked me up with this piece. I loved it. A great thing to read at her wedding.
Again, a delight to read. There will be a lot of parents who'll connect with this-- nicely done, Gwenda!
