OKLAHOMA CITY—In a year that saw a record number of mortgage defaults and home foreclosures, part-time landscaper Ben Foster, 34, was publicly vindicated in his bold decision, made back in the spring of 1996, to continue living with his parents.
Hmmm. I hope my children don't read this.
From the The Onion.
Grandmere, my sister and I ended up living with mom for a season (in the late 70s --the last big-time economic melt-down). My mom had just a two bedroom house, so I ended up in the garage! ....and my mom, sister and I ended up forming our own "sisterhood." --ChiChiChi (pronounced with a long 'i') --which stood for many things, among them Cry a Cup of Crap, or Crap a Cup of Karma --and on and on... I wouldn't wish it on anybody --but it was kinda fun!

This trend started before the mortgage crisis came to a head. A couple of years down the road, we'll have my son and his wife when they sell their house in Houma and move to Thibodaux. They want to have the money from their house before they buy another. My grandson will be off to college, so it will be just the two of them. I don't mind, really.
