The other "dirty" boys might freak him out. <br /><br />My college liked to rotate years that the girls and boys had different dorms. The girls would pimp it up with new paint. The boys would kinda destroy it the next year.Hit 40https://www.blogger.com/profile/18043350255090631652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925661918941360037.post-13826181632361691202009-09-21T00:25:52.072-04:002009-09-21T00:25:52.072-04:00So are you saying that I shouldn't expect my 6...So are you saying that I shouldn't expect my 6 yr old to learn how to consistently flush the toilet any time soon?<br /><br />Greeeeeat!Candicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05553652923537266660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925661918941360037.post-67897803806817162062009-09-20T23:24:13.126-04:002009-09-20T23:24:13.126-04:00It has to be a college thing...I dare not visit my...It has to be a college thing...I dare not visit my son without ample warning...even then, I would never stay at his apartment...<br /><br />I love my son...Mango Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06288929320848541123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925661918941360037.post-83597633544026333582009-09-20T21:06:31.387-04:002009-09-20T21:06:31.387-04:00Maybe you should write a letter on your school let...Maybe you should write a letter on your school letterhead and sign it as principal...oh and add the pictures to. <br /><br />His poor,poor future wife.sun loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08177142568167014934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925661918941360037.post-78654442324290582922009-09-20T20:54:44.012-04:002009-09-20T20:54:44.012-04:00OMG. is your son related to my daughter?

It was a surprise to see boxes with labels, everything neat and in order, this clearly could not be my daughter's room! And she has been like that ever since then. She had a roommate who was not as neat as she was and my daughter wanted to know where her stuff was. To this day her house is in order. Her things are neat but her children are like she was growing up. It goes round and round.CiCihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615265608675467505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925661918941360037.post-7192008461067872332009-09-20T19:54:44.889-04:002009-09-20T19:54:44.889-04:00They grow up very fast when they leave the nest, b...They grow up very fast when they leave the nest, but it's gonna be lonesome for everyone.Secretia Tellerhttp://www.secretstorytime.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925661918941360037.post-43153855643341532582009-09-20T19:34:26.867-04:002009-09-20T19:34:26.867-04:00Oh, I remember boy's dorm rooms in college... ...Oh, I remember boy's dorm rooms in college... it only gets worse.Cristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278630444931205359noreply@blogger.com
