    “Easy, just go down to that park where they have the pumpkin festival in the fall, then turn right. At the greengrocer’s, well, where it used to be, I think they built something else there now? Anyway, cross the street there, and right before you reach Maggie’s yard, say hello to her from me, will you? you’ll have to go down to that other place, I forgot the name but they have the best chocolate cake you’ve ever tasted…”

    Grandma please, just tell me the address!

    It’s so funny, my kids split out exactly half and half, one half of them I could have driven to Miami before they realized we weren’t headed to school, and the other half, if I took a different route would scream “you are going the wrong way!”

        A lot. 4 that I had plus 5 I married into, some of those 5 my husband had adopted, some he’d spawned. Some were already grown when we got together though, so we didn’t have them all in the house (or car) at once.

        It’s nice now they are grown because the kids have a good network of siblings and boyfriend/girlfriends, they hang out together and get along, help each other.
