Child Transitioning To Independence Pillows

"Quick! ...Do it now!"

"Son, you're old enough now for The Talk: everything you need to know about compound interest."

"Yeah, you could say I've got mother issues....she told me I have to move out!"

'What about you...you've been living here thirty years too?'

'Isn't it time you started thinking about cars instead of horsie rides?'

"Allowance?! Yeah, if you take out the trash, I'll allow you to keep living here."

"Your mother and I want to make your 21st birthday a moving experience. We'll help you pack."

"Oh, don't jump. But at least learn to code."
