Found out later, it's 'eighteen-to LIFE'! Daughter #2 came back after her truck wreck (titanium up the back, diabetic, no more Class-A license, out of settlement funds, no work), and Daughter #3 hasn't found enough work to ever leave the nest- at 28!

Especially the combination of "babysit" and "lucky." I like kids as long as I know there's someone else nearby to actually take care of them. But, hey, some people don't like kids at all.
