Elaine, HA! Let her roll her eyes, and even squirm a little. I now realize there were so many things I needed at that age that I never would have admitted to or asked for. (Also, I really hope when I get a chance to see you, I can also meet O. I can't believe she's 11!)

Daisy, is 11 a dangerous age? :) It's interesting that you bring up role reversals. Although it's not the same thing, I was thinking today about how much both of my grandmas need my parents, and how that has changed their relationship. Life is so fascinating, isn't it?
