For Young Parents

Many people keep photos and sentimental memoribilia of their family at work. Included in mine are two notes from my second son, probably from first grade.
HOPE YOU HAVE A BAD BITHDAY
HATE
BEN


And a language arts paper, in which he was supposed to make up three sentences on his own.

I went to the new store.
Who went with Jon to the fun, too?
Why are there two dead people in my house?


Seventeen years later, and he never did turn into a parent- or sibling-murderer. Things turn out okay, they really do. You’re just in the harrowing part now.

    My personal favorite is that tape you have of trying to teach Jonathan the Lords Prayer. Classic.

    That tape actually died, I believe. I was quite disappointed. But Lauren Gagnon did mention to a co-worker some pictures they have from Jr. High....
