Well, I can remember as a child always saying that I wanted to be different than my parents.  There were things they did that I didn’t approve of, and I just didn’t want to be like them.  Sure, they were good parents, but they had some habits that I thought were silly like doing crossword puzzles everyday.  I just couldn’t understand why they would want to do something boring like that.

Well fast forward fifteen years…

Guess what I do every morning? 

Well, I am a little different than them (or at least that is what I tell myself) as I do free online crossword puzzles instead of doing them out of a book.  I find that doing it this way is more environmentally friendly (kills less trees) and gives me a larger selection.

It has even got to the point where I use a free crossword puzzle maker to make puzzles for my parents to try out - and so far they like them.  It is neat for me to create these puzzles as it is challenging to piece together many different fact together and turn them into a puzzle.  I find making the puzzles almost as hard as doing them.

So, I hope that I don’t pick up any more of their annoying habits - but I am sure I will as I grow older….
