All of you who have been a parent for more than a little while, know the feeling when you're "kid" proves he or she is alllll grown up.
It may come by accomplishing a high grade in a difficult course like organic chemistry or calculus. Or it may become evident when you watch them play a solo in the orchestra or on the stage at the HS musical. It may even hit you while he or she takes on the best at a debate or competitive speech event.
Then it could also be most simple of things, when you don't have to cajole or force them to take on responsibilities. In fact they volunteer to help without asking, and even take on their own projects to learn and grow.
However it's likely to have been a one of a kind, when Mr. and Mrs. Hands experienced their son son Jaylen jumping right over them to dunk a basketball.
