<p>Ah, teenage romance –
here today, gone tomorrow,
two weeks on average.</p>
<p>How long will it last
before she shows him the door?
Will he dump her first?</p>
<p>Mine doesn’t partake,
but loves to participate
in the betting pool.</p>
<p>Applications done,
Safeties, matches, high reaches.
Waiting to hear now.</p>
<p>Wow! Y’all are awesome!
Romance, grades, and calculus
These haikus are GREAT!</p>
<p>Started on a whim …
Now I can’t stop reading them
CC parents ROCK!</p>
<p>Helps me to stay sane
Better than my nightly drink
Thanks for the support.</p>
<p>Just got a voice mail:
“Forgot my sneakers – bring them?” :rolleyes:
I will; he said please. :)</p>
<p>But I scratch my head: 
How could he have missed them?
They’re a size 13! :eek:</p>
<p>Too funny, geek_mom,
Txt just came in: Left last page
Eng pap in printer.</p>
<p>You too, Harriet?
I worry about commutes
when they’re out of state!</p>
<p>Hey there, Lafalum,
your son was sick yesterday?
How is he today?</p>
<p>Each year gets better
But I recall some doozies:
Specs in the Hudson. . . .</p>
<p>We’ve come a long way
Since the second pair of specs
And the single shoe.</p>
<p>Oh my, big bummer.
Glasses fell in the river?
Glad mine goes without.</p>
<p>Sure they’ll be ok…
I guess this is growing up…
but I’m still nervous. :o</p>
<p>Used to send boxes
to heroes in the sandbox
packed with little treats.</p>
<p>(November through March,
we get to send 'em chocolate!
Other months, it melts.)</p>
<p>Food, clean clothes, supplies –
You can cram amazing stuff
in a flat-rate box.</p>
<p>Complete set of sheets
plus fresh cookies and goodies…
the trick’s a vacuum.</p>
<p>In California,
stuff is crazy expensive.
Why not send from home?</p>
<p>When September comes,
My Soldiers’ Angels training
will serve geek_son well.</p>
<p>He has requested
that maybe I learn how to
send a lasagne. :p</p>
<p>Think I could freeze it
and wrap it up really tight
along with dry ice? :D</p>
<p>salt in the cookies
Harriet I sprayed my tea
mop up the keyboard</p>
<p>Will it really be?
geek son meets history girl
Dining at the Mudd?</p>
<p>she searches in vain
for missing shoe in back seat
Toddler tossed it</p>
<p>Today DS said
Mom I have no shirt to wear
Does his own wash too</p>
<p>My son had gf
he played basketball at lunch
So she dumped him quick</p>
<p>Now he really knows
Middle school girls need effort
Who needs the drama</p>
<p>When he was tiny
It made me cry to realize
Some girl would take him</p>
<p>Don’t make me weep more!
I’m knee deep in kleenex now.
Stupid yearbook ad.</p>
<p>@historymom:</p>
<p>geek_son loves HMC
in part because of Jay’s Place –
Mudders so friendly!</p>
<p>(Free food didn’t hurt –
after all, a teenage guy
needs his sustenance. ;))</p>
<p>I’ve heard that Scripps has
some excellent dining halls.
Maybe they’ll meet there!</p>
<p>Buy stock in Kleenex –
you could make a fortune from
all us weepy moms. :o</p>
<p>@historymom, when the time comes:</p>
<p>Not losing a son…
You’ll be gaining a daughter.
(Yeah, right – whatever.)</p>
<p>Haiku for Yearbook
Son you amaze and humble
Proud to be your mom</p>
<p>Gifted and so kind
A Blessing of a brother
You improved our world</p>
<p>@ geekmom</p>
<p>Whatever she is
Interloper I’ll call her
Possible worth, Ha!</p>
<p>Nice, historymom.
He might like that better than
“Sob sob sob sob sob!”</p>
<p>Speaking in haiku
Is so much fun. Much better
Than speaking pig latin!</p>
<p>Next year’s course choices:
AP Gov, AP Econ?
Neither choice pleases.</p>
<p>Asian History!
also South America!
More interesting!</p>
<p>No weighting for those -
He’s got three other AP’s -
Isn’t that enough?</p>
