Words of wisdom

[resonant]

I hit a milestone on a big project -- well, I mean, I'm finished, but I'm not quite finished because now there's another phase to begin, plus a completely separate part that involves things I've never done before, and --

yes. Well, I've been going on and on like this at home and never being able to say I was finished, and today the kidlet (7) said, "Well, did you fill in all the boxes?"

"Yes," I said, "I filled in all the boxes."

And in a tone that suggested that all discussion was now over, the kidlet said, "OK, then. Good job."

way to cut to the chase, kidlet. I think that sometimes adults have trouble slowing down and celebrating the milestones. So pats on the back, you filled in the boxes!
