and as such, I am fearful that if I ever have the mistake of having children of my own, the karma will be too much for me to handle and I most certainly will have to return them.

I was kicked out of school, received poor grades (because I was too lazy to do my homework), staying out all hours of the night, and probably a lot more worth mentioning... but I digress. For the most part I was a good kid, I was a smart kid, just not smart enough to know when to stop messing around and get serious.

Looking back now, I can see that I caused a lot of heartache for my folks. Sorry mom.

I don't know when I became a respectable adult, but here I sit, in my own house, married, with a real job... and I believe that I owe a large debt of gratitude to my folks for not selling me on the black market when I was causing them all that grief so few year ago.

But just remember - they won't be teenagers forever. Just like the "terrible twos" that you thought you wouldn't live through, and all the other phases of growing up - this too shall pass.

In the meantime, may God bless you both. Oh, and get a good dog.

Yeah, but you still have one cross to bear; Marty.
