He's got IT!
Oh, yeah! It's finally happened! One of my kids was finally funny so I get to write another blog! None of the 5 kids have done or said anything funny since June 18th so it was such a relief when I overheard this awesome conversation between Will and his friend Colten.
First some background information: Will and Colten are great little buddies. They live about 25 yards from each other. They're less than a month apart in age. They make sitting through Primary bearable for each other. They both like to use vacuum extension tubes as swords and lend each other theirs when the other's goes missing. When they're together they can more easily exclude girls and other sissies. They both like to slay imaginary animals. But if either of them were to really encounter something scary, they'd both scream like women and run. Even though I know that's the truth, they maintain the toughest exteriors when they're together.
Last Friday rolled around. At 5:00 Will had a birthday party. Not just any birthday party, a girl's birthday party. A girl who was in Will's class last year and remembered that she wanted to invite Will this year to her birthday party and did just that. Will was worried he was going to be the only boy there. (He was, by the way, but came home intact.)
At 4:45 I called outside to Will who was throwing rocks in the dirt with Colten. I told him it was time to get ready for the birthday party. Will came running in but his conversation with Colten continued as they yelled back and forth across the field:
Colten: "You're going to a party?!? Whose party?"
Will: "Uuummm...I can't remember the name!"
Colten: "Where is it?"
Will: "I don't know. Far away I think!"
Colten: "How old is he going to be?"
