My Son's Decor
So, I go visit my youngest son (2 o' 2) last weekend, at his new "complex", which has 4 bedrooms. It is his first official "pad", and I'm quite fine wih the idea of him living on his own and making his own way. I stepped into the living room and on the wall is a huge stop sign as proudly hung as a fine painting above a mantle piece.

My eyes glare at him and I exclaim, "_____, you can't take down street signs, they cost money" (Let alone someone could get killed, with dirty underwear on, no less).
He proceeds to smugly point out the fine print. Department of Transportation, California. It appears that I have just spent $13,000, the past years tuituin at OSU, and now he knows the difference between inter and intra-state crime.
