On vacation
The brain in Boy 1's head? It apparently has gone on vacation. And I wish it well. I hope it comes back nice and relaxed and refreshed, because I'm not certain what shape Boy 1 will be in when it gets here.
Yesterday? Boy 1 went to a local school to skateboard in the parking lot, since it's vacation and the parking lot is empty. He met a friend there, had a great time. He showed me some pictures he took last night.
Me: Um, Boy 1? Where are you in this picture? Is the parking lot elevated or something? Why am I seeing the second stories of the houses behind you?
Boy 1: Oh, we went up on the roof and skateboarded.
Me: *thud*
After asking him WHAT on EARTH he was THINKING you are NOT supposed to SKATEBOARD on a ROOF for the love of PETE, he calmly answered me that "no told him not to".
Huh. Well. I replied that I hadn't specifically told him not to murder anyone today, but assumed it was implied under a general "behave, child".
2 Things People Said:
Pushing, pushing, pushing to find those boundaries, isn't he? The good news? It DOES get better. Promise.
Okay, that just about gave me a panic attack...
Although I am a paranoid mom that had so many reoccuring nightmares about her kids drowning (who swim competitively so it's pretty unlikely they would drown)last night, she finally watched tv and turned on all the lights at 3 AM to make the dreams go away.
So exhausted, but no more drowning dreams. Nope, but I'm sure I'll have kids falling from heights on their skateboard dreams tonight.
Geez! I think your Mom chip is out of whack if you don't excessively worry, eh?
