You know your kid has grown up when he complains about the cost of toilet paper.
Hee hee, my ex-sis-in-law was relating this funny story yesterday about my 23 year old son who was visiting her house one day while out and about with his cousin. "your son Michael cracked me up..." she exclaimed, "I nearly peeed my pants! He was complaining to his cousin James about the cost of toilet paper and what a big difference in quality using Scot tissue instead of Charmin! I was in the other room eavesdropping and was practically splitting my gut with laughter."
So many times over the years, you overhear your kids discussing their world with their peers and it gives you insight to their GPS point on their life road map. I remember them roleplaying as youngsters and mimicking me and their dad or aunts and uncles. It was so adorable to hear my words coming out of my daughter's mouth as she disciplined her dolls.
But nothing is as wonderful and charming as realizing my kid has grown up enough to be concerned about the price of toilet paper.
