Blah, treasure them while they are young and cute. Just got back from a friend's house where we were sitting outside with her extremely drunk son forcing him to stay awake and drink Gatorade and water. Some girl gave him a plastic cup full of tequila which he drank. He then went to a club (kid place, no booze) where he proceeded to crap his pants and pass out. They took him to a friend's house and got him out of his clothes and hosed him off. (at least we are in Florida) At this point at least one of the kids had the good sense to call his mom and she brought him home then called me to give a call on whether to take him to the ER.

My son has taken over for me in the keep him awake and annoyed with us and drinking fluids game. He'll be ok, but man is he gonna be unhappy tomorrow. 17 and full of stupid. Kids! (My son was at his GF's house and wasn't around for the actual drinking stuff - this time)

Blah, treasure them while they are young and cute...

We had a nine year old get completely ripped at my sister's wedding! The lemonade was Lynchburg, he didn't realize it. Another guest was a pediatrician, she declared him fine. The next day he was pitiful, but that night he was a hoot. He dancedupa storm... A trashed fourth grader is pretty cute.

I've been home with my ankle hurting all day, and my sleep schedule is all off.

They aren't going to let him sleep until he can walk inside by himself and he has consumed (and kept down) adequate fluids. Then his mom will let him sleep sitting upright on the couch. She will likely torture him tomorrow while he is hung over. Lots of bright light and loud mom.

Ouchie. I hope you are able to get some rest, Hil. I am going to try and get some sleep now.

Feel better, Hil.

I've been sleeping on and off all day, and I have no idea what time my body thinks it is. But I've got several channels of nineties sitcoms to choose from, so at least there's something to do. Do I want to watch Roseanne, George Lopez, or A Different World?

My mom didn't think so when a lot of different people thought it was cute to give me a sip of champagne at a reception. Lots of people, lots of sips. My memories are both spinny and filled with Journey.

Do I want to watch Roseanne, George Lopez, or A Different World?

Lopez.

Please note: We did not intentionally trash the nine year old.
