Empty-nest Adventurers Pillows

The Old Woman in the shoe questions her decision to spend her empty-nest years in a condo at a ski resort.'

"I'm all for pushing them out of the nest, but maybe next time we could wait till they hatch."

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

"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."

"We used to entertain a great deal."

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

"We've waited twenty-five years to make this trip, and we're certainly not interested in getting there in any six and a half hours."

"No, I want to know the meaning of never calling your mother."

'Honey...you're spoiling that child.'

I think it's time he left home.'

Empty Nester Apple Picking - "Not THAT one, you idiot!"

"Well that's the last of our offspring gone - let battle commence."

"I'm so sorry that I screamed...I had a terrible dream: the kids had to leave college and live with us again...Oh, Ed, it was horrible!"

"The nest may be empty, but our drinks are full."

I'm here to update your census form. Since you mailed the form in, have any of your children moved back in with you?

"No need to push, Mother—I'm going."

"Remember, son, no matter what happens to you, we intend to always keep your room at home exactly as it is right now...empty."

"I didn't think you'd still be here at thirty."

'Now that you have a job, Tom, Dad and I are turning your room into a condo!'

'Do you think Mum and Dad are trying to keep an eye on us, by enroling on the same university course as us, Colin?'

"The joy of the house to myself"

"He insists he can't leave until he has a full-time job."

"They grow up so fast."

'You let me out. What I do when I'm out is my business.'

"I suppose it's 'Empty Nest Syndrome', doctor. . . ever since Amber left for college I've felt so empty!"

'By the time I was your age , I'd already run away from home TWICE!'

"Kids in college? Well, won't it be nice to have them home?"

"Is it wrong that I miss the dog more than the kids?"

Now that our kids are grown and the house is paid off...

"I've found a way to keep the kids from moving back home. I've replaced the front door with a childproof cap."

"I've been a mess since Jake left for college, so now we have a boy who comes in a couple of times a week to leave wet towels all over and challenge everything I say."

"I'm off girls...gonna make the most of being an empty nester, while it lasts!!"

'Mother Nature gives a sign to all young animals when it's time to leave the nest. Your time is near, son - I've got rheumatism in my shoulder from taking out the purse!'
