Laughing uncontrollably, downing drinks to encourage the loudest burp and more laughs. Yelling, more laughing, bumping into one another, more laughing, falling, more laughing, more drinking… it was a night that would make a college frat party look tame. What am I mixed up in, it was out of control – I had lost the upper hand. How could this happen?  What was the culprit that sent my kids into college party mode?

Caffeine. Yep, caffeine – not a big doobie or a keg stand. Although with the way they were laughing, it would have been a hard sell to convince outsiders that wasn’t the case.  We only gave them a few sips (I swear) and yet, “I love you Maaaan” and hugs were abound. They were running around our kitchen island like it was a race track dedicated to tiny humans without the ability to slow down, the brakes were drained.

How I long to have that energy, that belly laughing ability, and without the aid of doobies or alcohol to have the best laughs at the simplest things. *sigh*.

Oh well, since those days are gone…where’s my stash of vodka?

I love you maaan!

I can fly!

The room is spinning...

Youthful Joy
