That's why I was very nice to my mom. I knew at a young age that most of what she does is just cuz she's a really cool mom.

That's awesome! I'm not a dad yet (nor anytime soon), but I think I'll print this out for my wife to keep just in case we ever need it!

Thanks... printed it out as well... I remember getting this a few years ago, although it just seems better suited now that my son is a 15 and the girls are getting older now ... Thanks again, this will come in handy I'm sure
