Just outside my slider door on the patio, I keep a huge igloo marine cooler, spring, summer, fall.. full of poland spring bottles, gatorade, assorted sodas and ice, lots of. I make sure it stays full. Both my teens, (well one is 20) work 40 hour a week jobs all summer, and play soccer those three sesons, and after work, practise, or games, they come home to shower, and usually bring thirsty friends, and they hang out.... I look at it this way.. it's kinda like bait.. the teens are here, I know where they are, and What The Hell they are doing... my sons almost 21 (already back at school pre-season).. and is moving on, and I hear of what is offered at other folks houses... no wonder his age group don't come to my cooler as much anymore..
.. but they all still greet me with a smile and speak with me, with respect too!
