You're absolutely right "The disastrous reality of raising teens is that you have zero control and total responsibility." That's what I remember about those years too.
I am trying to push out one of my emerging adults these days and I agree that it's harder than the birthing. My kid also did the thing with the apple-pipe (although she left it on the counter rather than going as far as putting it back in the bowl), and she also keeps pushing my ability to ignore things I'd rather not have to address. I love your writing and I'm glad I somehow found you.
wow. You are an incredible writer. My kid threw his phone through one of my paintings once on his way to the bathroom, I think. But your lives are way more interesting.
Wow. The wind stories I believe. (the other ones too)
I once saw that video of a plane taking off (or landing?) in an Alaskan wind storm. The plane was flying into the gale and was floating above one spot on the ground.
What an incredible write, Stella!

Stay safe❣️
Gads, this is brilliant! Where did we go wrong with our kids? The adventures were not nearly so “colorful”.
