Subject: yeah, my parents were s uper old. my mom and dad were the same age but my mom was much *older* than my dad if that makes sense. my dad was a little kid inside. my mother was a hard old lady inside and out and was like that until the day she died. she was the lady in the neighborhood who yelled at kids if they stepped on ONE blade of grass in our yard. my dad, on the other hand, invited them in and would give them boards and nails and whatever else they wanted while he was working in his workshop. he is the one would would lie on his stomach and let the little kids sit on his back and hold onto his jacket while he went down our very slightly sloped street on the sled. he was the one who would shoo me out the door while my mother was interrogating my pentacostal friend to make sure she wasn't a bad influence. LOL. he is the one who was excited when the adoption place called to say they had a baby (hey, that was ME!). she's the one who wrote in her diary, ''Paul is so excited and all I can do is go along with it.'' Ok, lovely. I have home movies of me and daddy dancing, and then movies of me jumping on the bed and daddy holding my hand so i won't fall. in the same reel there are pictures of my mother and me. we're on the couch and i'm about 1. i am biting her and she is pulling my hair. so there's THAT relationship in a nutshell!I could go on and on. that is why Paul's name is PAUL. eom/pm
