Kids say Cute Stuff

Our Older son, D., is a 14 y/o in his first year of high school. One of the clubs he joined is Academic Seminar where they field a team that competes in academic competitions. The faculty advisor quizzes the students with questions checking their knowledge of various subjects and ability to use the buzzer and answer questions under pressure.

The instructor asked D., "Who wrote Winnie The Pooh?"
He answered in the style of one of our family's most favorite TV shows, Jeopardy, "Who is A.A.Milne?"

D. has alot of insight, he was talking about "people need perspective" and not just think about themselves. We talked about the developmental tasks and stages of teenagers and young adults including the traits of self centeredness and the attitude of immortality. He confirmed it, Wow, Mr.Maturity.

S., our 11 y /o had his school pictures done last week and he wore a nice shirt and combed his hair unlike last year where he wore a well loved NY Yankees tshirt and sported his usual tousled curls. S. got a kick out of the school photographer calling everyone, "Babe". "Here, Babe, line up here." "Please stand up straight, Babe." Smile Babe."
S. also said he felt like a statue or a model or something equally unpleasant about having to pose and stand still for the pictures.

Of course, my four legged kid, the Dog, Charley also does an abundance of cute stuff including being the official greeter at the local dog park, Central Bark, and rolling over to scratch his back. He also specializes in stealth, drive by licks where when he walks past you he kisses your leg. Very Sweet.
