Proud mum moment

[Debs1964]

As a lot of you know, my son entered politics this year when he was elected as a councillor, I may disagree with most of his views, but that doesn't stop my pride. I do, however, agree with him on most human rights issues, including the current refugee crisis.
He attended the Labour Party conference this week, and I recorded this speech of his when it was aired on BBC parliament.

... Enjoy.....
Like the first mmmuma, ddddada.
Like the first baby steps....
Like the first -- NOOOO....
Like the first -- Mum,Dad I scored my first goal at football...
Like the first -- You get your @ss back home by sundown young man or else.
Like the first -- P!ss off you can't have the car keys, as he drives away with his girlfriend.
Like the first -- Mum,Dad I got into university or I got the apprenticeship.

Ah... moments....

Ah, the wonder of leadership. I have some small knowledge of that when I was probably in the Reserves back in the day (not even close to the level of leadership he has taken on though), and I wish him well.
Also, well done raising him, you deserve some kudos here too.

Congratulations on raising an intelligent self sufficient adult. We need more adults like him. You have every right to be proud. =^..^=

The thoughtfulness of prodigy never seem to mind what they say or do the older they get.

It seems my Birthday was not totally forgotten. My thoughtful elderly sons decided it most appropriate to throw the old man out of a perfectly good airplane at 12000ft just this weekend. Hmmm... the thoughtful little sh!ts.... I survived the Jump. I cleared the lungs out and the Heart arteries out on the way down and landed safely flat on my bum. The pride and nerves are still in tact. They even paid extra money for a video of the jump so they could get the last laugh...

And so it is, I've ticked one more off my bucket list....
So now I just have to bungee jump and tight-rope walk between two buildings. ahhh yeah...maybe in the next life, skydiving was enough...

I hope you enjoyed it, part of me would love to do a skydive, and part of me says NO WAY

I was thinking very much the same. I said to the instructor before we took off,"I would like to apologise now for any bowel motion during the jump"..

It was a heck of a lot of fun and laughs going up and coming down.

Definately not for the faint hearted, but if you feel the urge, give it a go before you push up daisy's in the great green pasture.

I now have another certificate that states that I'm an "offically nuts adreneline junky".

Children can be such a disappointment to you, mine works in advertising, insists on polluting perfectly good scotch whiskey with coke and thinks BMW's are good cars. And not only that the little bugger earns more than me and has his own parking spot.

When I hit 60 last year I was asked what I wanted to do for my birthday and I was quiet adamant that I didn't want to be thrown out of an airplane for everyone else's enjoyment. Paying $300+ to be terrified for 30 seconds doesn't seem like fun to me.
Every weekend we watch the tandem sky divers jump over my suburb and land on the beach, you can hear the girls scream from 10,000 feet. Our office manager did it and says she threw up half way down, I was wondering what that gunk was I had to scrape off the solar panels.
