Our church had a Parents’ Night Out on Saturday. The youth group watches your children for up to three hours, and you donate to their summer trip fund in return. We participated, and went to Surin, where I had one of the best meals of my life with the spectacularest woman in the world. It was a lot of fun.
So when we dropped the boys off, they dashed into the crowd of kids and started playing. We turned to leave, and I said “Boys. Boys!” They looked. “Y’all behave yourselves.” Then our youth director cut her eyes at me and sarcastically replied “oh yeah, Bo, they’re such troublemakers.”
We’re so blessed that she would make such a joke. Hey, they’re good boys. Nathan’s having to wrestle with issues of procrastination/play-now-pay-later right now, but we’re on it, and I think he’s getting it. I hope we can click that over for him. It’s a minor but still present problem for his dad, and I’d love it if we could help him purge it completely.
But generally? Yeah, it’s really hard to complain. Such is more nurture than nature, of course. Heh.
