Comment from Pam Lonsdale
I'm sorry, but I had to laugh when I read that they threw a a smoldering towel into the garbage. Of course, this could have been very serious, but it sounds comical because that's what young girls would mindlessly do. Toss it, and it becomes someone else's problem.
I laughed out loud when Christi asked the cop to jump her, lol! Probably why he wanted to date her!
I'm reading a lot of "family" stories this morning and they are all so entertaining! Of course, I'm familiar with your family by now, and I'm always amazed at the "interesting experiences" your children gave to you:-)

he could began his chiropractic
Living the Exclusive Dream, (Elusive)??
As always, your stories about family and children bring back so many hair raising memories of mine. I guess we both are lucky that we have made it through the "younger" years and still have most of our faculties with us. LOL

Nothing major that's for sure...I do much worse lately. I think I am losing some of the gray matter for sure. Do youthink I could blame it on the children? Probably more like old age! LOL
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Teenagers can be difficult and these days parents can go to prison for what your teenagers do in the US. Thankfully this was not too serious, although burning your house down would have been a tragedy Beth. Thank you for sharing these difficult years with us, love Dolly x x x

Thank you Dolly. She wasn't trying to burn it down. Just being a stupid Kid and throwing a smoking towel she'd had over a lamp into her closet. It worked out without about being a tragedy. Just another bump in the road.

Thank you Wendy. I think you knew a lot more about raising kids than I did but I appreciate you saying our family sounds normal.

Comment from Ric Myworld
Sounds like your children were about like everyone else's. Finding enough trouble to always keep you busy trying to keep up. But if it's any consolation, just be glad I wasn't one of them, because I would have driven you completely crazy. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

I think my kids did a pretty good job of doing that anyway. I doubt if you could have been much worse. LOL Thanks for the review.
