Empty Nesters Gifts

After the last child moved out, the old woman sold the shoe and moved into a flat.

"Uh oh. It's the kids...and they're flying back!"

'Put this in the window! One of our kids is coming up the walk with a suitcase!'

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

It seems so big now that the kids are gone.

'One good thing about the hurricane is it made our grown kids finally move out.'

Empty Nest.

"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!"

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

'I know that we once made a list of all the things we'd do when the kids left home but I can't remember one of them!'

'It seems strange now that the kids are gone and we have nothing to argue about.'

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

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

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

"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'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."

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

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

"We used to entertain a great deal."

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

I think it's time he left home.'

The kids called. They'll be home in five. Our week alone flashed by. It was like getting to know you all over again. I'm starving! Anyone call? I need the computer! Where's the remote? What's your name again?

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

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

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."

"The joy of the house to myself"

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

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

"They grow up so fast."

"We're taking separate vacations this year."
