Dear Congress....my son's are home from college. They are eating everything in sight.

My groceries are more expensive than ever.

They are driving and gas is $3.89 a gallon.

They are catching up on dental and doctor exams, my co-pays are killing me.

They are in need of more clothing for summer work---when they can find it. Will they find it?

They are using more water, more electricity, more gas for the stove for the EasyMac and frozen pizza they eat almost daily.

They call all their friends....and use up all the minutes.

The milk is gone

The ink cartridges are now empty

The driveway is full

The freezer is empty

And the tuition bill is due...

To rent these kids to experience the joy of childrearing call, YOU-CAN-HAVE...em'

Just think, they will be back in school in a few short months, and you will miss them! Hang in there!
