All quiet on the Home Front as my son is back to college. He left enough to remember him by on the floor of his bedroom.
So I wanted to know all about how he was doing so I texted him and asked. His reply? “Good”
Filled with that complete and exhaustive description of his return to college, I decided to take a garbage bag up to his room and start a process of elimination. It’s cleansing.
Good thing my daughters can form complete sentences and send me emails at least once a week about their lives.
I sent sonny boy a popcorn cake. My guess about his communication to me about it?
“Good”

I send my son a care package each week, just to get that “Thanks!” email. Otherwise, I would never hear from him.

I am kind of glad to hear that you experience the same thing. How sad is it when you have to use Facebook to see what’s going on?

Well that’s…. good. Maybe you can find enough genetic material on the floor of his room to build yourself a new son and maybe that one’ll have a bigger vocabulary. lol.
