Flushed with Success. by ladymagpie

Flushed with Success.

Well that title must get you thinking and all will be made clear soon. I don't know whether I have told you but I have 3 Sons, all very different in their own way. The eldest, who is now a Grandfather or Grandolf as he prefers to be called, has his own graphic design business but is more renowned as the long haired heavy rocker in several heavy metal groups.

No. 2 has his own driving school, and you know what they say about naughty driving instructors. I think he fills the role quite well and can drive me round the bend any time.

No. 3 and the baby of the family, OK he is 45 this year but he's as fit as a fiddle. He is a Manager in the local council but his spare time is taken by going out running most nights and competing in marathons and half-marathons at weekends.

When I visited him the other day he wanted me to go to the downstairs toilet with him, and he wanted me to bring my camera. I wondered what rude agenda was pending until he showed me his medals and awards pinned to a small board facing the throne. So there you go, he can just sit there and feel FLUSHED with his SUCCESS.

To be honest I think all his fitness and running is because he looks at me and just thinks NO WAY.
Wow, you must be one proud Mama! Interesting that they all pursued such very different interests.

You must be very proud of his achievements. Nice shot.

LOL! I did laugh out loud at your narrative! But on the more serious side, what great achievements for all your sons. And a very nice capture of the medals. Congrats to your
youngest.

What a lovely memory board. I bet you are proud of him. It takes a lot of guts to run a marathon. Great title!
January 27th, 2015  
Wow, you must be so proud...lovely collection and hilarious narrative.

Your youngest must have your sense of humor, given that he placed this wonderful board of his medals where he did :)) Very nice to hear about your 3 sons and their achievements in life. Thanks for sharing.

What an explanation you provided us for this wonderful capture. I'm sure you are very proud of your sons and you have every right to be. Your sons throne is well decorated.

Why on earth in the loo? He could have chosen a better place for this great display! But we love our crazy children no matter what they do :)

Quite a collection - he must have inherited your sense of humour keeping them in the loo

I wondered where you were going with this story when you were headed to the John, as we call it. So glad it was a photo of he awards. Could have been so much worse lol.

Three such different boys and rightly so, my two boys could not be more different. Great way to show off your achievements well done son no 3.

btw, my dad was an in dependant driving instructor, I hated my lessons with him, he was so tough on me. Every lesson ended with me in tears but never in front of him
