I thought that this captured so many of the emotions we encounter as our children drift into their own lives.

Thanks, I enjoyed that. Hope I've taught my son how to manage without a crew of women!

LOL, canadian! Well, there's managing in *his* eyes, and then there's managing in a female's eyes.

I'm sure that that kid would have made it to class just fine without the female posse's help, and his learning wouldn't have been adversely impacted by messy hair and an unzipped backpack. But I loved that imagery of taking care of each other.
