Thanks, Haleth -- you've offered some good perspective on it. We are actually pretty different in a lot of ways, and similar in some others. She's much bolder and more outspoken than I ever was (I was kind of afraid of my mom), and she's being pretty forthright with her attitude. I was very quiet and sneaky and just sort of disappeared out of the scene. I guess, in a lot of ways, I prefer what Kidlet's doing to what I did. But then, we have a much closer and stronger relationship than I did with my mom. Hmmmm.

***Hugs*** Thanks for the nice words, honey!
