Then again, around that age my brother decided that aftershave was to be used as a body spray. I'm five years older than he is and I didn't have the heart to tell him that the cologne was killing people in a 5 block radius ;) <BR/><BR/>I scooped change out of my parents change tray to buy penny candies on the way to school. They probably knew but, they never brought it up. I'd ask them but they still scare me...and I'm 34.<BR/><BR/>Isn't it wonderful when you have your kid trained to calm you down.
