Family adopts DAMBU,NGS
gambler by Pat t lvingston
I recently had the o family
to ex-
perience life with a fs y that includes
'threet�teenagers.. Let me tell you it was
a little different from what I had been
accustomed to with only ;one teeiner,
sorry, young adult in our midst. Mta
four nights and three days, Icame up
with the following .fiat of "must haves" if
`you have more than one teen in the
1. You should have two telephone '
numbers; one for yourself and one for
the don't want to pay for two•pbone
numbers, you, should have:.
(a) an answering machine
or • •
(b) a secretary.
3. If you' don't have either Mother 1, 2a
or 2b,you really need the patience of a .
Saint, as you listen to the continuous ring-
ing of Alexander Graham Bell's
• invention!
4. If you lack 1, •2a; 2b and 3, simrplyy.
uunpl�gthe hhone while none' of the teens
are You should have a fairly Large' home.
Jo house the teens and their friends when
visiting
6. A small private area of the home is a
must for ma and pa; a type of sanctuary
for them when, the friends of the kids
arrive.
7. A television in ma -and pa's bedroom '
would helpwhen the question arises as to
what program will be watched.
8. If you lack number 5 and'6 be;
prepared to spend time in the kitchen or
simply leave the house for a period of
time to retain your sanity.
9. Two bathrooms' would definitely ease
the amount of congestion one encounters
when trying to use the facilities.
10.If you have only one bathroom, it, is,
advisable to rise early in the morning. If
Yon are all planning to attend the same
function in the evening, it iswise to have
your shower, do your hair etc., midafter-
noon, That way you avoid long lineups
and being pestered about how much.
larger you are going to be!
I learned that when you have three
teenagers with what I will call "healthy"
appetites, • count on. speinding 'more than
$50. at the grocery store per week,
I learned that when you have tiaree
teenagers and they all go but at night,
you worry three times as much as I do.
Mealtime with three" teenagers. is a
blast as the day's activities unfold in liv-
ing
iging colour,
I experienced cooking breakfast for
four • teenagers and myself. It was like
working in a' restaurant! A• dozen eggs,
one pound of bacon and a loaf of bread
later, I sat down to .eat, while I watched,:
them clean up the mess • I had made.
That was the deal - I cooked -.they clean
ed up!
I"learned that although the deal had
been made, you will usually :find one or
two who try to renege and when this hap-
pens. 'it takes a blunt reminder to jolt
them into action, "Hey the 'deal was, I
cook, ALL of you CLEAN UP!"
The washing machine in a household
with three teens takes a beating! . The
amount et ironing makes me shudder!
The list goes on and on.
Mytime spent with the family who
"adopted" me last week was certainly a
learning experience. Thanks MacD's for
this week's column.

SEVERE WINTER WEATHER -
Where is the man who said we were go-
ing to have a mild winter? is a question
we heard somebody ask on the street the
other day. Evidently the Auestioner was
prepared to denounce the man in ques-
tion as a very false prophet.
There has been nothing mild about it in
spite of the fact that the squirrels had no
beech nuts to store away. In fact the
weather has been of quite unusual severi-
ty for thisend of the winter. The past
two weeks have been decidedly cold and
stormy. The fall of snow has been heavy
for the first half of January and it is not
often that the first month of the year
gives us 19 below zero as we had it last
Friday morning. It was 13 below on Sun-
day night and the storm on Monday was
a very cold one. '
