Bear with me ...

Please bear with me ... this is so much more difficult that I ever thought. I checked the first 'posting' carefully ... but still have grammar errors, spelling, etc. It probably wouldn't bother me so much, if I didn't know that the 'blog' daughter is reading this ... and she's a "red pen" ... it's a long story. Every Friday she has a 'pop quiz' on her site.

One Friday the quiz was What Office Supply Are You?

She was a "Red Pen" ...

"You have an eagle eye for detail, and this often means you end up finding mistakes in people's work. You may seem quick to criticize or correct, but you think accuracy and truth is important. You like to be involved in every project. You feel like you put the polishing touch on things. You would make a good editor, detective, or accountant. When facts matter, you're the person to call on."

I, on the other hand, was a "Post-It" ...

"You have a good memory. You're memory is so good, in fact, that it can be down right annoying at times.
You don't mean to NAG, but you like to remind people what they're supposed to be doing.

You may be a bit of a PEST, but you're awfully cute. So no one minds it all too much when you pop up.
You would make a good manger, salesperson or attorney. You can cram a lot of info into that head of yours."

'Miss Red Pen' has not let me forget that I am a Post-It ... but wait a minute ... doesn't that make HER a "post it"??? You know, the good thing about raising independent children? ... they are INDEPENDENT !!! Do you know the bad thing about raising independent children? ... they are INDEPENDENT!!!
