ignore minor crimes, getting used ‘to the fact that nothing will ever be exactly where you last put it, and that there are a few safe but bizarre hiding places you can still use (like explosive-resistant vaults). You enforce borrowing limits, set office hours for the use of the bathroom, and are even willing to share a vehicle. You are a mature adult, and the fact that they use your shampoo does not upset you as much as it once did. Just because they are young and can use any shampoo without affecting the appearance of their hair, and you need this special one because, well, face it, your hair is just not what it used to be, you're not going to let it ruin your day. Never mind the fact | that you have iettered "DO NOT USE THIS" on the label, or that you must control your breathing © in the shower so as not to hyperventilate with rage when you notice the low level in the bottle — the small bottle that cost nine dollars at the salon.

phenomenon occurs. They grow. a From babyhood to adolescence, they play with toys. But one day, your favorite blue comb goes missing. Suddenly, you notice your wallet has been rifled through, and the sacred "peace" button from the good old days is gone. Soon after, your brow acquires a tiny furrow.

You might purchase a small, expensive bottle of cologne, only to find one day that it’s half- empty and your darling offspring smells familiar.

This is the crucial spark to the E.N.S. flame: It was your house, you’ve shared it with them, and now it’s sheir house, too. Fatal mistake, It’s the same method the government uses to collect taxes from your income — they just assume it belongs to them, and take it.

It has been reported to me by a

_ Teliable informant, that the "Empty Nest Syndrome" is a myth. E.N.S. is the period in a parent’s life when the children leave home and the parent has a difficult time adjusting to the change. The theory goes, that parents have invested so much love and attention in their children, that when the recipients .Of all that energy and affection leave, the home has an "empty" feeling and the. parents are left with no purpose. My experienced informant says, "pfstfst!" on that theory — the "Empty Nest Syndrome" is nothing more than simple shock.

For those of you who question this controversial new premise, you must think about the stages of life that people go through. Falling in love, marrying, and becoming parents are the typical first steps taken by potential E.N.S. victims. Once the children invade the house, an interesting

Your cologne is exactly where you left it, your comb is in the drawer, and your bottle of shampoo lasts an entire month. This is the final stage of E.N.S.: shock. Nobody will eat the last banana, nobody rumpled your T- shirt, and nobody needs the car tonight. The years of invasion are a rosy period from the past —
