The Skimmer had a medical test this morning. He doesn't want me to go into too much detail about it on my blog.
So, I asked him, "Why? You don't want to be the butt of jokes?"
We were just going over his discharge instructions. One line item says:
You should be accompanied by an adult for the rest of the day.
I'm all he's got.
He's in big trouble.
Having survived far too many of them, I can assure him that the Adult Accompaniment is a recent addition; he should be fine with just you.

You may not be what HE considers "adult accompaniment," but at least you'll make him giggle. That has to count for something! Best wishes to both of you.

I'm sure it will all work out in the end.

Ha ha. I had to be the adult accompanying a friend of mine home from this procedure once. What a joke. He's lucky he got home alive...

I loved when an opportunity for a cheap pun rears its head.
Feel better, Skimmer. Just pretend Bush is in power again.

All's well that ends well.
Ask her to wait on you. You're entitled.
(What's with this psychedelic avatar all of a sudden?)

Come on, blue girl. You drive a car!
You have terrific teenage son.
You're old enough to drink, right?
(We won't even mention the age the military considers "adult.")
Oh, I get it. Adult behavior: I'm sure Skimmer's grateful. We all know he's lucky.

Good luck Skimmer. :)
Snag, I had the avatar a couple times, after coming here from another typepad site that gives one to everybody. Came back a few minutes later, and it was gone. ?????
