Oh, I'll be happy, as the guy who signs your checks, to stand here waiting with work in my hands as you tie up my phone lines with your 74th call to/from your still-living-at-home-and-not-in-school 22 year old child!
74th? I would have said something at least by the 50th... Have you thought about her/him just bringing him/her to work and having them empty the trash...answer the phone...etc?
