Don’t ever pay a surprise visit to a child in college. You might be the one getting the surprise. I learned this the hard way when I swung by my son’s campus during a business trip.

Locating what I thought was his fraternity house, I rang the doorbell. "Yeah?" a voice called from inside.

"Does Dylan Houseman live here?"

"Yup," the voice answered. "Leave him on the front porch. We’ll bring him in later."

My cousin, a teacher, asked her young students, "Why should you never accept candy from strangers?"

One girl knew. "Because it might be past the sell-by date."

I got my first full-time job, but I could have sworn I was making more money in college while working for my parents as their daughter.

I recently stumbled upon my favorite new sports team...

It’s a woman’s bowling squad called, "I Can’t Believe It’s Not Gutter".
