I feel as though I might last for a bit yet. a The last of my Rotten Kids has gone off to college, and her mother, reluctant as ever to raise her wing and let the chick go, went' with her. The latter will be back in a few days, and the former will probably be back in a, few weeks, but it's a wonderful res- pite. Even the eat looks more relaxed. But maybe .that's be she's ,pregnant. She's eating like one of those dogs in the TV commercials, so it looks suspicious. . Getting a girl ready for col: lege is something like outfit- ting an entire expedition to Outer 'Mongolia, as I've dis- covered in the last few weeks First. you have to talk about it- for an average of seven hours a day_ Then they spend hours making up lists of "in- dispensables". like a razor -and shaving cream. The lists are lost „and new • ones begun. Then there are hours of talking about clothes: turning up hems, lowering necklines, rais- ing waists, what goes with what, what clashes with what. That's .-why I've been hiding in the 'bathroom and the iback yard for a couple of weeks, during these altercations (that's nbt • alterations). This. of course, produces heated accusations that, "You don't even care! Why can't you show some interest?" This, in tiirn, makes me join them for a modelling show, at which I mutter, "That's pretty. Yeah, I like that one. That looks pretty good on you." Again. this brings forth heated accusations. The fact is. I have about as much interest in women's 1' vsiNgss... EcToRy. clothes as I have in choosing wall-papcq If the plaster is OK, whack it on Same, with wo- men If it looks OK, I say so. If it doesnl. I have' enough sense to keep my mouth shut. puring this preparatory per; iod. I have felt like The Invis- ible ..Man 1 have had two dinners poked for me in two " weeks. I have done all the shopping. I have broken up in- numerable feminine. squabbles. (Kim's taste and her mother's, in clothes, are -as far apart as the R C.'s and the Communist's philosophies). And I have -'strip- ped my every hank account to the barest of hones If that kid drops out, a5 so many bright youngsters do, I'm going to take all her effects, piano. those records that drive me 'out of my skull, the lot, and burn them in the back yard. Invited to this soiree will be a'number of -parents I know, We, have recently formed .an organization called PORK. It stands for Parents of Rotten Kids. And it's spreading like wildfire. Within a year, it'll be bigger than the Rotary Club. By the way; anyone who wants to join the organization is Welcome. There are no fees, All you have to dois drop me a line, explaining briefly why you think you qualify:: Anonymity is guaranteed. Fly, don't walk, Kim Charter members are; a cou- ple with aiion of 150 -phis I.Q., who is making toilet seat lids in a factory; a woman whose 14 -year-old daughter ran away; a minister whose daughter smokes pot; and me: , There is only one proviso. You have to swear a solemn oath that, if yotir kid is over 16, you have given him, or her, no more than two "last chances", and have then kicked him, or her, out into the world., will have -no truck with parents who want o sit on the egg until all that emerges is hydrogen sulphide, when it finally breaks. • 4 4 But ltdigress. My baby, whom 1 have taught and fought for 18 years, has- left me. We've trot. ted off to high school together for the past five years, I mar- ling because she was late, she snarling because I was snarling. 4 I telling her to be in early, she, indignantly, finding me pacing the floor, "What do you mean? It's only one o'clock." I certain she's been killed in an accident, or raped by a motor -cycle gang. She laughing hilariously at my lurid imagination. 4 The only thing worse than missing her is the,thought that she might come home, perman- ently. Young eagles, of either sex, have to fly or they become cripples. I'd rather she flew.
