Life With Boys

Life with boys … Me: goes in to find the boy in his room, “Hey, I want to make a Dragonfly out of rocks in the yard” … Boy gives me a “and how does this involve me look” … Me: “Come get rocks with me” … Boy gets out of bed because he knows I will just keep bugging him … We arrive at the outdoor emporium, home to more rocks than you have every considered … boy makes a comment that this would be a perfect set for a zombie movie … then we get a wagon and head out … boy is very carefully looking for rocks that graduate in size and shape … Me: “oh look, a blue one, and this one has a cool line” … we may have gotten a few extra rocks, guess we’ll have to make a second one …
