Oh - have the times have changed. Remember when our parents helped us with our homework? Mom and Garry are here tonight. I have fed them a (relatively) balanced meal: rotisserie chicken, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and artisan bread with olive oil for dipping. Now I am helping Mom with her "homework". She is working on the Church books. The Church did buy a laptop and installed Microsoft Excel. That stuff I do by rote daily at work, I get to help her with as she builds complex spreadsheets and formulae.
Did I tell you, Mom and Garry are taking a PC class through the local community college? Garry and Mom have been using the laptop Cale, Nik, Shelby and I got them for Christmas. They now have high speed wireless Internet in the house so they can each be in separate rooms on the desk top and laptop. She is now emailing her sisters and tending to the animals.
And she is repeating an Intro to Yoga class? She seems to find the philosophy of yoga intriguing. She is learning to breathe and some of the names of the postures.
See - they do listen to us. I may introduce her to Facebook, and unleash her on the rest of you. Oh, but they still know how to torment us - Garry has the TV on American Idol and Mom is giving me the history on the performers.
Enough for now - going to send them home!
