My house of ill repute

When I was 16, I announced officially at the St. Gerard Fair that I would rather not bother with the constraints of a reputation. I explained that if it felt good, made me laugh, or pissed off my Daddy, it was cool. That was quite a weekend. And so went high school. I think there is some of that in Bradley, and we can all agree on Andrew! Honey has too much reason for that nonsense, and Isabelle is going to be interesting. Rylee likes to mix it up, too.  But the other day Evan said something that struck me. Because it is so uniquely him. He is being accused by some people of being somewhat of a player. A user of sorts. Of the laytays.... If Tracy is reading this, I know he is laughing. Anyway, he (Evan) certainly could be. But he commented to me that he chooses not to be in the double digits by now because he "cares about his reputation." What tha? Who is this guy? I just sat back and thought, Evan is better than I am. He could run for office. I am proud of all of my kids. They are so smart and unaffected by the outside. They have brains, and I hope they always choose their own path of thought and not mine or anyone else's. Carry on, Evan Louque, wit yo bad self and your good reputation. It's working for you.
