Reply #15: I haven't,, but my son has [View All]

he recently left the state he was living in, broke and out of a job, to come home and eat homemade mac and cheese for a while. He had extremely long hair and a disheveledd appearance. A couple picked him up a couple of cities over from where he lived. As they opened their car doors to my scarey, 6 foot 1 inch, muscled, long-haired hippie-something beloved child, the young wife remarked "we don't have any money, so don't kill us and we'll give you a ride. My son handed them a twenty-dollar bill for gas, shared the food he had on him and they drove him straight to our door and they both exchanged phone numbers.

While this was a good experience, he has hitch hiked before, and has been in a dangerous situation where he feared for his life. It's certainly an iffy situation out there. Lucky for me and for him, there are still some awfully nice people out there. He now has a job here, and is still eating mom's homemade mac and cheese. Seems to me that there's an awful lot of young people living with mom and dad these days. This is my second grown child that has come home to live while re-grouping and I don't expect it to be the last. Be careful out there folks. It is dangerous.
