Sept from Amy - storks


I did not get any of these stamps and wonder if it is too late. It's a darling idea - and there was a bonus inside - a fun piñata with a virtual explosion. My grandkids would love this -- maybe I will make a second one so that they each get one in the mail. 






IMHO, my theory that our kids are often times not the types of people we were expecting is not all that uncommon. Although, I do not have any tips for how to cope with getting blind sided by those curious strangers who show up when you thought you were hatching a nice *chip off the old block.* My only bit of insight is this: the kids are just as blindsided. A lot of them were not expecting the parents that they found when they were dropped down the chimney. 

My brother and I discovered - when we were in our 20s - that as kids, we had been skeptical that the stork had dropped us down the correct chimney. Not that we were unhappy with our parents - it just didn't seem like we had that much in common with them. Of course, we were both polite and kept that to ourselves. 

It is safe to say that I never met an alternative to my own parents who I thought would have been perfect.
