Family visitors

Rita’s fifteen year old nephew came down to visit us from Portland last week. It was a fun week. I realized, however, that I share a lot in common with a fifteen year old boy…:

• Exactly the same palate. Cokes + Pizza – Salads = breakfast
• Have both seen Dog the Bounty Hunter [much to Rita’s dismay]
• Neither one of us knows our way around San Diego
• We can both kick Rita's butt at domino's
• He is, however, a better cook and decidedly less messy

I actually thought Rita was going to hyperventilate from laughing when, during dish-washing, her nephew spontaneously said…."Maeve, we have a lot in common because we both have trouble focusing on things we don’t want to do.” So young…so wise.
