"Oh Maxwell!" "Not now mom! And its 'Max' not 'Maxwell!" Said Max. "Sorry dear." Maxwell had just turned 18 two days before, and as a present, his best friend Jamie had promised him a trip into the Carribean. Max's family lived on the southernmost tip of California, and Jamie's family was quite wealthy. So it was not too much of a big deal for Jamie, who had also just turned 18 the month before, to take him. "I'm just packing to go the the Carribean, is that not reason enough to skip dinner?" Max inquired. " "Maxwell Andrew Carter! Get down here this minute and eat your dinner!" "I'm not your kid anymore ma! I'm 18!"
"18 year olds still have to listen to their mothers!" Mrs. Carter Barked.
"Not according to US law!" Max rebelled. And that ended the most recent of disputes between Mother and son. "Okay, that should do it." Max Said to himself. "I'm just about ready." And with that, Max picked up his bags, placed them on the floor behind his bed, and lied down on his comfy mattress where he would not sleep again on for another month.
