For whatever reason, I got it in my head that I wanted to go to law school for a day with my son. I mean, come on -- he's not eight anymore and how weird would that be for The Mom to go taggin' along to school with her 24-year-old son? Well, I thought about it for several weeks, starting back in early September and told myself that if the thought was still with me in mid-October, I would ask him his opinion about my idea. A few weeks ago, I called him.
Hello Son...this is Mom. Got an idea I want to run by you...do you think it would be too weird if I would tag along and go with you to law school -- just for the day -- you know, just to see what you do and all?
Silence. More silence.
Hello? Hello? Son, are you still there?
Yeah, Mom -- that's pretty weird. So, let me see if I understand this correctly...you want to go around with me, hang out with me at law school for a day? WHY?
Well, I thought it would be fun -- you know, I'm a career counselor and all -- genuinely interested in careers, preparation for careers...I just thought it would be kinda' cool to see what you do and all...hey, I'd even buy your lunch...how about that?
Right, right...well, let me check it out with my professors and I'll have to get back to you...
His professors apparently didn't mind or find it too weird, either, as I spent a week-ago last Wednesday with my son at law school. It was so fun, and so great, and so special! I absolutely loved every minute. (My son asked me not to take notes during his class.)
After the free lunch part of the deal, we went to see Cramerica Mad Money guy on campus. That's right - James J. Cramer - Booyah! - CNBC's Mad Money host was live and in person on campus that day, taping his show from the Heartland. (I got to see the back of his head - booyah!) Even with tickets, we couldn't get a seat to the show; instead, we were escorted to a VIP room with a small tv screen. Those present were given Cramer's Stay Mad for Life -- Get Rich, Stay Rich (Make Your Kids Even Richer) book.
Well, I didn't make my kid (or myself) any richer that day, but I am here to tell you that the entire experience was pure gold to me. Have you ever tagged along at a career-in-the-making?

If you want to buy a car, you will have to receive the loans. Moreover, my mother all the time takes a credit loan, which seems to be really reliable.
