Please indulge me, I am so excited and have to tell you...this has been a long time coming!
Today our “baby” got the job she seemed destined for. After a lifetime of relentless practicing at it, she can ARGUE and now she actually gets paid for it! :-D She was selected to be the new deputy prosecuting attorney in the criminal division for our county, which is one of the largest in Washington state. Most of her arguments will now take place in front of a judge, and hopefully her arguments with dad and I will become only a distant memory! :-D So if your babies are still young, and they drive you to the brink at times with their arguments and tenacity, please remember this: they are just practicing!;-) |
Congrats on doing a good job Mom! (and Dad too! ;) ) Congrats to your "baby" for working hard and getting where she wants to be!
Awesome news!! |
Congratulations! How very cool for her!

And thanks for the heads-up that all of this debating and arguing is for a good cause. Our teenager announced that he wants to be a lobbyist or a political analyst last night. I had a similar feeling - so that's what all that verbal back and forth was building up to! lots2do |

Congrats---you have every right to brag and feel proud.
|
That is very exciting news!! You deserve this brag!! :-D Moms feel what their kids feel--so I can understand your elation!!
As parents nothing is more rewarding than knowing that your child has found happiness and fulfillment. |
Go ahead and brag...that is quite an accomplishment. When we adopted our DS he was 2.5 yrs old. After the session the judge asked him if he wanted to sit in the witness stand. Most kids would find this cool!! Not my son, he shook his head and headed straight to the JUDGE'S chair!! I have pics!! Everyone laughed and judge says "start saving for law school" Hopefully it was a sign that he doesn't want to be in the witness chair and he'll stay out of trouble..especially considering we have 2 deputy sherriffs, and 1 city cop in the family. One of those even works at the jail!! LOL
|
Congratulations!! You all have a right to be proud!
|
Congrats to her and you! That's an amazing achievement!

I have a debating Granddaughter and debating Grandson, cousins . She wanted to be a paralegal, doesn't know for sure now. He wants to be a coach. We'll see how it turns out for them. They both would argue with a brick wall if it ever said something to them.

My young law graduate is continuing for her Masters in Library science and information technology to be a law researcher. You never know, she may end up doing some work for your lawyer, it is a very small world!!! |
