boys

Oldest son is off on a scout campout. It is a nice, if small, group of boys. I think he'll have fun.

Now Second Son is in the alpha position. He likes this. He becomes very talkative when he's the oldest boy around. Anything from wanting to build a particle accelerator in the garage to quotes from The Stinky Cheese Man, which he just discovered. He also just shared this bit of wisdom with me: "Some movies have 'adult situations,' like paying taxes, paying bills...stuff like that. I don't know how those movies make any money."

I don't have any brothers, so I find my boys quite foreign and entertaining.

I have two sisters, and having a son is like living with a wonderful alien, at times. I LOVE that statement of opinion from yours. :)

Heh heh--the aliens have landed! (I do live with little Green men...)

I find it more and more difficult to figure out my oldest boy and his friends. When they are over her, I am sure the question marks are visible on my face.

Adult situations! I agree with your son.

Yeah, well the same son with the movies has tons of question marks on his face about the weirdness of adults, so I guess the kids are even.

I love those moments when the child comes out of their shell and you really get to see them close up and personal.

In Germany the oldest left for a week-long school trip, and boy, we sure got a headful of what his brother was thinking while he was gone!
