8 Things I Learned in the Past Year

4. It’s pos­si­ble to not much like your child and yet still love him/her intensely
5. 13-yo boys still want their moms to kiss them good­night but they need to be allowed to pre­tend that they don’t

I’m inex­pe­ri­enced in regard to these memes. I was excited to be tagged but does every­one feel that way? I’d hate to alien­ate some­one by tag­ging them; they might never for­give me. If I tag you and you aren’t hon­ored, please for­give me and do as my chil­dren do, ignore me.
