[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 645306, member: 17720"] Yes, I used to do this too. Most people don't even ask much anymore, which is really okay, just to save the awkwardness. Except for my job. Funny story from yesterday. I work with a couple of young ladies about my son's age. They ask about my son on occasion. (I think one of them kind of has a "bad boy" thing and is fascinated by his escapades.) Anyway...yesterday they asked about how he was doing in his sober living house and if he was calling me the way a son should call his mother, etc. They are really very sweet. So I gave them the latest update and then walked away to check on a customer. I was standing around the corner where they couldn't see me and heard one of them say to the other, "Can you imagine having Albatross for a mother?" And the other one said, "That would be SO COOL! I love Albatross!" And the first one said, "Me too! She's so cute! I love her!" So that made me feel really good, and made me feel really kinda sad, and made me feel really kinda mad at my son, all at the same time. I don't either. I really don't. [/QUOTE]
