Preparing For Independence Mugs

Cellphone Islands

Pony express. Pony express yourself. Pony express yourself so much he left.

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

"I'm leaving. It's just way too much collaborating."

'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."

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

"Sorry kid, I work alone."

'She knew we'd try to talk her-out of it.'

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

'I'm sorry Timmy, but if I keep going for help, you'll never learn to take care of yourself,'

"Lost most of my sight, hearing, teeth and hair. Thank God I still god my driver license."

'Male, 38, still living with his parents. They asked us to keep him overnight, so they could change the locks.'

And so Bob's folks sent him off into the world. But not before running a few last tests, just to be sure he could handle it.

"Honey who needs a man when you've got... Rhythm!"

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

"First buttons, then zippers, now we learn to tie our shoes. Is mom trying to tell us something?"

'I want to go out of town so that I can become a fully independent person, but near enough so that I can bring my laundry home.'

'I find the best way to get them to grow up is to buy them a 1-way ticket to Europe, and let them work their way back.'

'It's all right with me if you go out, but you'll have to file a flight plan with your father.'

Still living with parents....

"Come on Mum, I'm fully grown-up, surely you can let my friend come between you and me safely..."

"And since when does being twenty-five and married and living in Dallas excuse you from a family meeting?"

Lost and loving it!

'I dressed myself.'

"I try to get a head start on them."

'As a bachelor I have to wash my own clothes, clean my own room. The do it all again three months later.'

"You should go freelance like me!"

"My son's a commonwealth - I give him money to be independent."

"Nothing personal - I'm through with the male brain."

'Isn't it great Darling: The kids are now old enough to have dinner ready when we get home...'

"Don't be a follower. Be your own man."
