Guilt Pangs
Recall the ill-suited, slow moving, curious 13 year that accompanied me on part of my Lappland tour.
... The boy who would take well over an hour in the morning to prepare himself, even though he did not have to 1) shower 2) apply makeup 3) style hair 4) shave.
... The boy who upchucked during pre-dawn hours in our shared living room.
... The (small slight) boy who brought enough clothing to sink a small ship...in a bag that was approximately 1/4 the size of the trunk...which he conveniently waited to jam into the trunk after our items were carefully packed away.
Tarja's mother said he had a dream that we'd left him.
Ha. Serves him right.
But I do feel a tiny bit guilty torturing the kid. But he's eventually going to serve his required one year military time, so why not learn the value of time efficiency. Or do you think he'll learn it the day they turn the water off in his shower?
