This whole concept of dismounts or transitions is a thread throughout my life...I'm not that patient, so I tend to jump from one thing or topic to another rather than gracefully and smoothly glide. I am interrupt driven by nature and feel compelled to squeeze as much in a day as I can so I am not patient with the whole dismount thing...I am the person who will only blow dry her hair half way, do a 5 second check on appearance before speeding out the door already 5 minutes late...yes I do have a few speeding tickets racked up. So back to dismounts throughout life...I have an almost 13 year old son who "seems" to be jumping into adulthood. Friday night I realized from the outside I couldn't tell if he was 13 or 18 except for a few telltale signs...an "early bloomer" he is an athletic 5ft 9in and his voice has changed... Well he went downtown for dinner with a friend followed by the movie What Stays in Vegas and stayed up until 3 listening to music and talking with his friend... OK now for the clues about his real age: 1. He called me from the restaurant and needed money 2. I gave him rides to and from 3. When he came downstairs the next morning he handed me a baby tooth that had just fallen out.... So far his dismount from childhood to teenager has been relatively smooth but I know that can change in an instant.
