My daughter, my mother

My son is going in to middle school this year and he will be home for about an hour before we get home. I feel he is old enough to handle the responsiblity. so does my daughter- his younger sister. She told him of her expectations of him. she showed him how to use the intercom system (to see who is at the door)and told him not just to buzz people in like we usually do. She also gave him snack ideas and told him not to use the stove or microwave. She reminds me so much of my mother. that's a good thing.
