Freshman Orientation

So I sat at college orientation for my middle daughter wondering if I really AM a bad parent for thinking that I don't need to know that there is a leap frog competition for my student to do on campus the first week of school. All my fears were quickly put to rest.

It started with this:

Me: Sorry, I'm dealing with my own set of issues up here... like can you talk about move in day and the extra long bedding?

Her: Make sure you ask about the size of the fridge and the types of showers there are too?

Me: Should I find out about the style of carpet and the number of hangers that will fit in the closet?

Her: Ohh and makes sure to ask about the types of dryers and what detergent would be best to bring! Powder or liquid?
