Still remember when she would fit between my elbow and wrist.
Where did the time go?

Yep...lovely girls. Congratulations guys.

I'm still single but I'd like to be a dad someday. Luckily I've got something that would just fit between my elbow and wrist too

Cheers, Neilster

.Forgive the reference to the financial side of kids growing up. When the grand kids were younger I could get by with a reasonable priced gift. One grad-child wants a quincenera celebration(something like a 16 birthday). My daughter-in-law informed me that it will cost 6,000 dollars. I almost fell over hearing that. That's almost equal to a Marriage celebration! So I guess we will help. We will buy the 15 year old dress.$500.00.

The $500 alone gives me a lot of pause. The very notion of a 16th $6000 birthday party is something I find literally unimaginable. The only way I could think of approaching that amount is if they were getting a car. Either I'm practically dirt poor and don't know it (for the US standard of living anyways) or my family is just extremely frugal.

I agree with you Orwell. It would seem that maybe a car would be inline much more than a party that cost 6,000. My daughter-in-law is saving up her money for this party. I balked at the five hundred dollars for a dress. The wife made it clear that its important. So there you have it! The boss has spoken
