Another update on my grandson.

Just got this from my son;

"Mom,

Alex got your 'gift' today. The last time I saw that shade of red it was laying on my plate with a cup of drawn butter next to it. is outraged but his stepbrothers actually look a little jealous. Thanks"

1. I missed it. What did you get him?

2. 112 condoms.

12 glow in the dark and 100 extra strength.

What a great idea. :rofl:

5. He got his girlfriend pregnant.

She got an abortion. Thankfully (They are 17 and 16)

I sent him 112 condoms and a note to use them.

7. Damn. Hard news to hear.

I hope to god he does use them!

My nephew flashed me his condom in his wallet last time I was home. He was fifteen at the time. I was briefly scandalized, then realized "sigh, okay, at least he has one" -- and then he started cracking up, as did his mom and everyone else in the house at the time. They'd all seen his "condom" before -- it was a teabag wrapped in fancy shiny paper. I'd've sworn it was a condom. It even had the pooched-out part around the edge.

Not a helluva lot I know about condoms, though. ;)

6. I guess I should have used () around two words

instead of angle brackets before the 'is outraged'. The words enclosed were (his stepmother).
