[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Is Tickling Not On?

Almost forgot two things I wanted to mention
in reply to other people:

Raspberries: Good, "clean" fun.  I give
raspberries to kids, they attempt to give
them to me (I can hang them upside down by
their feet...doesn't often work as they
planned).  Raspberries are just
fun...especially when you do them to my
mother who is germ aphobic *smirk*

Kissing/Hugging/whatevering parents:  I'm one
of those sad people who still call my mom,
mommy.  I admit it.  I will give her hugs and
kisses in public and scream "Mommy" across a
store when I want her attention (and end up
with fifty women looking at me).  I can't
help it, she's my mommy.  It's been only her
and me since I was seven (when my parents
divorced) and we're best buds...okay so we
scream at each other a lot...often in the
middle of a check out line, but that also
comes from being the only other person in
someone's life for over ten years.

But my relationship with my mother IS unique,
we were so poor we shared a bed for most of
my life as we only had one bedroom (which
means now in a two bedroom house I still have
"my side" of the bed when I come visit).
When I left home...it was as bad as a divorce
after spending decades married.

But while my relationship with my mother is
slightly unique (or not considering the rate
of divorce in America) I think it's very sad
when teens feel the need to "separate" from
their parents.  I mean, they're you're mommy
and/or daddy.  They're the only ones who will
have your back no matter what stupid ass
thing you do.  They deserve hugs and kisses
and big huge thank-yous just for wiping your
little butt when you were born.  Hmm, I feel
an urge to call my mommy.

Brave and bold they're not.  They ain't the
bravest heroes...but they're the only ones
we've got.
