BOOMERANGS RETURN, DON'T THEY

You'll read a lot of articles this week about how adult children move back in with their parents, what with Failure to Launch arriving in theaters and FOX unveiling Free Ride. Hey, look! I wrote something myself. But I asked my sources a more intriguing question. Will the roles reverse once these baby boomers get old? Will today's 20-somethings, once they're middle-aged, allow their elders to move back in with them? Some say yes. Some say, not so fast.
