<p>beachmom…you have a kiddo stationed at Camp Pendelton!!! Does he want a home cooked meal from an Italian mama??? Contact me and I’d be happy to invite him and his buddies over…( no smoking, though, my hubby is allergic to the stuff) I’d be honored and delighted to do it!!!</p>
<p>And I really was joshing with that young Marine. He and I and the store clerk were truly laughing together at my crazy outrageous mom antics on mother’s day. </p>
<p>Once while I had a son in marching band at our local high school, he had a 6’2" friend, clarinet player, who smoked. Once when I saw the kid smoking off campus I stood up on a chair next to him, so I could be taller and told him smoking was bad for him, because it would stunt his growth!!! Of course he laughed at my heckling, too! :-)</p>
