Children Moving Out Gifts

'My kids are grown and have moved out. How much would it cost to remove this tattoo?'

"Twenty-thousand eggs, but do they ever call?"

It seems so big now that the kids are gone.

"I had that amazing dream again where the kids grow up and actually live somewhere else."

'The children are leaving the nest, honey! They're not diving in the Olympics...That was at leas a 6.5 by the way.'

"After the kids moved out I turned their space into a guest room."

"The house doesn't seem big because the kids are gone - it seems big because we've shrunk so much."

"Either we've been robbed or the kids left without saying goodbye."

'Yes, Millard, the kids all did -- but the cat is never going to grow up and move out!'

"Kids! Empty Nest blues when they leave home, empty purse blues when they don't."

"Oh, we don't worry about the kids moving back in with us. We didn't leave a forwarding address."

"The kids may have left the nest, but they were kind enough to leave some reminders just in case we get lonely."

"Are you insane?!" The Velveteen Skunk

'Sure, go ahead! Evolve! It's all the rage, I know! Have fun! I'll just sit here in this murky, primordial soup with nothing but plankton for company. Why should you stay here with your mother? The one who raised you, fed you...'

"I can't get used to being a grownup."

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

'It's time to move out when Mom says...'

Fishbowl rebellion.

"My parents said that until I find a job and move out they will not recognize me as a sentient being."

"Nothing else in my room can spin on the floor like a bottle."

Trust

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

"Your mother and I think it's time you got a place of your own. We'd like a little time alone before we die."

'Think about it guys: We're fed and sheltered, why would we ever think about leaving the nest?'

"Son, one day two hundred square feet of this city could be yours to rent."

'Son, the world is ripe for the taking ... you better stay home with me.'

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

"Be afraid to try new things!"

"Shouldn't you use a plate?"

"This is a little awkward, but you've been our guest for a while now, and we all have work in the morning..."

Origins Of Evolution

"Lives in the basement and has yet to bring home a dime."

"All I ask is a chance to ruin my life in my own way."
