I think you're in good company when it comes to wanting that happy ending for Bobby and Pam and their kids. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Ms. Southworth, thanks for your advice and no offense but I won't change the way this story is written for you. I've promised my sister before I began posting it not to let any of the feedback change our story. So like it or not, it's written the way it is!I do see your point that most parents probably don't speak that way to their older children. But well there are also some parents that keep using "baby talk" when they address their kids until they are way older. So I guess it all depends on what type of parent you are and for some reason I see Pam as an over protective mother. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Also it's back to the ranch house for our next update:At Christopher’s room were John Ross and Christopher playing Super Mario Bros. They knew that they were really supposed to be grounded but neither one of them cared about that.“So how do you feel about your parents making up?” John Ross suddenly asked.        “I don’t know,” Christopher shrugged his shoulders, “it’s sort of weird.” “Yeah, I was really surprised when I saw them kissing,” John Ross agreed. “Me too, I don’t know what kind of hold mom’s got on him,” Chris sighed.“Maybe she’s good in the sack?”“Eww!” Chris made a face. “Don’t say that, it’s my parents we’re talking about!”“Sorry man, it’s just that I haven’t seen Aunt Pam since we were kids and you gotta admit she’s pretty good looking for being a mom!”“Well she certainly doesn’t look like she’s been burnt to a crisp,” Christopher relented. “In fact she doesn’t look much different than I remember her so I really don’t get why she sent dad that letter saying she was too embarrassed for us to see her like that.”“What letter?”“The goodbye letter she sent my dad. I found it when I was looking for some cufflinks he said I could borrow,” Chris explained.John Ross sighed, “Why do parents insist on keeping their private possessions where you can find them?”“Beats me, so what did you find?”“My mother’s diary,” John Ross revealed. “What did it say?” Chris asked curiously.“I don’t know,” John Ross shrugged his shoulders.“You didn’t read it?”“I gave up reading it after the entry about her second anniversary with Don, like I really needed to read about their love life!” John Ross put his hand towards his mouth and made a sign that meant it was throw up worthy.“Eww, how gross!” Chris made a face.“Totally, to make matters worse she kept comparing him to my dad. It was almost like if she wasn’t over my dad,” John Ross said thoughtfully.“Well maybe she isn’t?” Christopher suggested. “I mean if my parents can get back together I guess anyone can!”“Maybe, they did have a tendency to go from arguing to kissing just like that when I was little,” John Ross remembered. “I never knew what to expect from them.”“Parents, they sure are unpredictable!”“Yeah,” John Ross agreed. “They mess up your life too when they decide to divorce.”“They sure do,” Chris agreed.“Then just when you’ve gotten used to them being apart they get back together again.”“I really don’t get how my dad could just take my mom back just like that. It’s like he doesn’t even remember how much she hurt us when she left,” Chris said angrily. “I mean all those women daddy went out with, it was all mom’s fault. I mean if she hadn’t left he would have stayed at home with me!”“I know,” John Ross nodded. “Your dad really couldn’t deal with it. He was acting all weird missing dinner all the time!”“Yeah sometimes I felt like I had lost both my parents since my daddy really wasn’t there for me as much as he used to be,” Chris confessed.“Still you forgave your dad for that,” John Ross said.“True,” Chris nodded. “So do you think I should forgive my mom?”“I forgave mine for shooting my dad!”“True but yours never left you.”“No but still she tried to take my dad away from me.”“So what are you saying?”“That you’ll feel better if you do forgive your mom.”“Maybe you’re right,” Christopher said thoughtfully. “But what if I’ll forgive her and she leaves again?”“I guess that’s a chance you’ll have to take,” John Ross said. “I mean would you rather be on bad terms with her and she stays here anyway?”“No,” Christopher shook his head. “I guess I have been giving her kind of a hard time.”“You have but she sort of earned it!”“She did,” Chris nodded. “You can say one thing about parents though!” “What’s that?”“They always put their own needs first!” John Ross sighed. “Then they just expect us to adapt to whatever they come up with!” John Ross said and Christopher sighed since he knew that was the truth. He also knew that John Ross was right. He’d better forgive his mom, since nothing was going to get any better until he did.</blockquote>
