Teen Troubles

My son is going away for a weekend. I plan to get a lot of work done. I remember when the biggest concern I has was which acne treatment would work the best. Now I have to worry about his friends, what they value, and what my son will value. Being a writer can increase the tension of being a parent. We have a clear understanding of how fast a life can change.

I like worrying about acne and whether to buy Orvo or something else. All those normal aspects of childhood. Will he come home unscathed. Most likely. He will call before doing anything dangerous - but something worse will happen ... he will grow up a little more.
