I dropped my two middle children off on a 4 day hiking trip this morning. My in-car farewell was a general, "Don't break anything by being stupid." Which was followed by a short, extremely pointed, and child specific: "Don't jump off anything high!"- actually this was repeated 3 full times a little louder each time and, "Don't lord it over your brother."
I'm sure my children heard, "Blah, blah, blah, blah... we are here."
Hopefully, even through all their hyper-ness and excitement they also heard the subtext of, "I love you and will (eventually) miss you both terribly."
