Top Three Questions

  The Top Three Questions We’ve Gotten Since Our Son Went To College: "What’s it like to be an empty nester?" It’s pretty damn awesome. I highly recommend it! I took over Gabe’s bathroom. It’s one advantage of him not planning to visit home until Christmas. Sure, the house is more quiet. But when you only have one kid and said kid is active, he’s already out of the house a lot. And when he’s home? He’s a teenager, which means he’s usually in his room and only wanders downstairs when he needs food or money or to bring down the dirty dishes he’s been hoarding all month. The cat started sleeping on Gabe’s bed, which she’s never done. So I thought, “Oh, my God, how adorable! The cute little kitty misses Gabe.” Then I discovered she threw up on his bed. Not so cute after all. Fortunately it’s nothing a load of laundry won’t fix. But don’t worry. She’s gonna get hers. Wait until I bring the new dog home. "How’s your kid doing at college?" This is the question all parents
