Nervous Mom

This reminded me: For my 60th I got a certificate to go on a hot air balloon ride. I decided not to tell my 80 y/o mother because she'll only worry to death. I'll send her pictures afterwards.

I parachuted when I was in college--my mother told me to NOT tell her the date--just call her afterwards. My father wrote the only letter to me he ever wrote--trying to talk me out of it because I didn't have insurance at the time.
I did get hurt--but just a little.
If my kids do that, I'll duck tape them to a chair!

I swear, if I get too close to a bungee zone, I'll just have to jump and I really don't want to!! The thought alone makes me sick.
Do you have pictures of your DD jumping? I'd love to see, even it makes my palms and the soles of my feet sweat to look at them. Ah, to be young again....
