<p>geek_mom, I thought so.
But given my Friday Brain,
I figured I’d check.</p>
<p>coolweather, S1
saw the midnight IMAX show
and was underwhelmed.</p>
<p>A haiku virgin
I don’t know why I waited
Maybe I’ll repeat</p>
<p>Parents’ haiku thread
is my second-favorite place
here. (Meta-thread rules.)</p>
<p>It’s raining again.
I did see the sun today -
the mushrooms twinkled.</p>
<p>HarrietMWelsch,
did somebody switch you to
decaffeinated? ;)</p>
<p>(Decaf coffee is
like non-alcoholic beer –
what on earth’s the point?)</p>
<p>As to the movies,
geek_son and a date enjoyed
Angels and Demons.</p>
<p>Wish it would rain here!
We got a teensy drizzle,
only cloud spittle. :p</p>
<p>Youdon’tsay, welcome!
Stay, and soon you’ll find yourself
thinking in sound bites.</p>
<p>Yes, Youdon’tsay, stay!
It’s all margarita mix
and haircolor here.</p>
<p>Those of you who don’t
understand this reference,
just ask CountingDown.</p>
<p>It is the mantra
we parents of the college
class of thirteen chant.</p>
<p>My son recommends
the tiger and the baby
in The Hangover</p>
<p>toured my fav’rit school
d not impressed, lacked info
guide was a freshman</p>
<p>should have been a hit
“I don’t think that it’s for me”
please, talk to others.</p>
<p>Clemson yesterday
Ninety-five degrees for our
Two hour walking tour</p>
<p>Yet daughter loved it
Even without students there
School reeks of “happy!”</p>
<p>In the living room
he sits at the computer,
his feet down the hall –</p>
<p>unavoidable
tripping trap for those who dare
walk without looking.</p>
<p>Stumbling, I wonder –
where’d he get those long, lean legs?
Clearly not from me!</p>
<p>Good looks, brains, and hair
must have come from his father.
(I still have all mine! :D)</p>
<p>but you were just born
and i do not know you yet
just another year</p>
<p>I wouldn’t have guessed
a teen-age boy could be such
a riot to raise.</p>
<p>Note that it is sons
who move moms to write haiku.
Moms of daughters shop.</p>
<p>Good observation.
Six-pack of Hanes white T-shirts
lasts a whole 12 months.</p>
<p>D and I spent hours
together trawling Target
and BB & B.</p>
<p>S says thanks mom, but
I already have sheets, and
this towel should do.</p>
<p>Waffles and bacon –
only thing he’ll wake up for…
sure hope Mudd serves 'em.</p>
<p>I can’t imagine
what it would be like with girls –
shopping as bonding.</p>
<p>geek_son hates shopping,
but can be lured into the mall
with promise of food. ;)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>As the kids these days say, I lol’d. :D</p>
<p>Minimalist son
asks why he would ever need
more than one towel,</p>
<p>and then he forgets
that one piece of terry cloth
when he packs his things.</p>
<p>Remember the boy
who Monday touched me dearly?
Today, not so much.</p>
