HA! This summer S19 seems to have lost every bit of common sense and responsibility he had! I think they get to an age where they want to be independent, but they don't really want the responsibility. He dragged his feet, and didn't get a job. Fortunately between his mom and his grandparents there were some physical labor tasks that needed to be done. But he's gotten really good at nodding, and saying yes, while whatever you are saying is sailing in one ear and out the other!
Rather than trying to summarize the letter here, I'll try to find it. I had a lot of help writing it! Then you can read it, and see her reaction, for yourself!
