that was just something made up, which I told my d15 when she was younger: that I had signed a paper at her birth to protect, help and always take care of her. As she got older, she would say "stop kidding me".
Yes, I've asked what if questions, such as where would she want to go if... (Japan). I imagine s20 would like that also - we had a very good time there, a good while ago, and d15 gets along well with s20.
I'll ask more about her friends, whose names I do know.
Cambridge is her dream college, though her current musically focused education might make getting in there difficult. s20 took IB (free here in Sweden) which we thought was great, and which got him into a (free) school in Scotland (this applies to many European universities, by the way, even for US citizens, or is at least much cheaper than the US, so I always recommend it).
The kids and I have been on a number of trips together already, without W, to Scotland, Istanbul, etc, and had a nice time. s20 is now coming home with girlfriend over spring break, so his and my trip to Sicily needs to be postponed again.
W okay today - civil - asked me to go to dump - and made lunch. W and d15 have been cooking all week, so my usual evening kitchen duty has been on hold.
Going to ask d15 if she wants to bike ride with me - 40F is a warm winter's day here!
