Because we live in the sticks a trip anywhere takes a while. Most people like to crank up the radio and sing or roll down the windows and listen to the wind. Anything to drown out the kids. I like to stick all three small boys in the seat behind me and then be very quiet…I learn so much.
(Anthony, 10 and Luke, 9)
Anthony: “I need to eat more. I’m going to go through puberty in two years.”
Luke: “What’s puberty?”
Anthony: “It’s where you grow taller. Girls have puberty first. That’s why you are the shortest kid in class.”
Luke: “I’m going to do that today then.”
Anthony: “You can’t just choose when you go through puberty…you’ll learn about it in sex ed.”
Luke: “WHAT?”
Anthony: “Boys do it in fifth grade and girls do it in fourth, ’cause they are taller. You learn about growing and about sex.”
Luke: “Eeewwwweeee….”
Anthony: “Never mind, I’m not going to even talk to you about it….you’re not ready.”
(why doesn’t this kid have his OWN blog? He kinda steals the limelight…) haha
