Mid-life Crisis

This time , my friend was talking about a very nice girl he met a few days ago on the job. The girl she said was 'hot'. In a sort of way.Not teenager hot or Paris Hilton hot.More like hot for middle age guy like him. ' I kn0w what you're thinking ' he told me. Does he ? ' I won't do that . I don't want to hurt her ' my friend said. She is young (28 yrs. old) and still single.My friend is that the married one who wants to kick his kids out as soon as they reach 18 years old.
Somehow,I don't believe him.Like a cobra , he is just waiting to pounce on this girl when the right time comes.My boss called his actuations as that of a man undergoing mid-life crisis.Funny.I do'n't know what age mid-life crisis begins (and if everyone will have one).I was thinking, if 40 is the new 30 age wise, should midlife crisis be much later now? Just curious.

Kida Don't Live Here Anymore .

The other day , a friend of mine was telling me that he is getting ready for the day his kids are no longer living in the house with him and his wife . ' I've finished 2 rooms in my basement and need only to put a bathroom and a small kitchen ' he boasted proudly of his developing plan. My friend has 2 boys who are now in high school . He expects them to leave when they reach 18 years old . ' When they are working already , they can stay with me if they chose to but they would have to pay the rent ' my friend said matter of factly. It may sound 'cold' but I guess that's just practical thinking. I remember this movie about a man and wife wanting badly 'to kick' their 28 year old son out of their home even resorting to an outside consultant to help them do it. The consultant was the star of Sex And The City . I guess , it's possible to happen . No, not the hiring of a consultant but the kids staying up to their late 20's or so. Why not ? They get free board and all the amenities of life ! ' It's better if the kids know what's ahead ' my friend finished his statement .
