Hello Again to all my young friends.

I was talking to my teenage daughter about what I should write about in my blog. She told me most teenagers are interested in sex, drugs, music, and friends. I said what a coincidence that's the same thing teenagers were interested in when I was a teenager. Go figure. I love how you teenagers think you invented this risky behavior. I'm sure if you took the time to talk to your parents they;d have some stories to tell. As for myself, I didn't engage in these behaviors. I was a book worm and a free lance writer wannabe. However my 5 brothers made up for it. I remember this particular moment as if it happened yesterday. I was in my room working on a school paper during spring break. My mom, that would be old mother Hubbard, was doing her daily house cleaning. My mom is a neat freak. My family lives in a New England cape style house. Two bedrooms upstairs, two bedrooms, one bathroom, kitchen and living room down stairs. One bathroom is hard for eight people to share. Anyway, my mom was across the hall from me cleaning my brothers room. I heard her having a fit about something then walking down stairs and throw something in the wood stove. A few minute later I could smell the scent of weed drifting upstairs into my bedroom. I ran downstairs and asked her what she had thrown in the wood stove. She told me she had found a pringles can underneath one of my brothers bed and it was full of weed so she threw it in the woodstove. I guess she wanted to get the whole nieghborhood high. I told her that wasn't the proper way to get rid of illegal substances. My mother is constantly looking in my brothers room for drugs claiming she was just cleaning their rooms. Eventually they hid there drugs in a different place. How often does you mom clean your room, (looking for drugs)?
