The Mind of a Boy

I didn't raise boys. I had ONE kid--a female--and I'm still trying to understand her. But I have a grandson (7 1/2 years old) whose logic and reasoning sometimes boggles my mind. I keep trying to understand but I don't always get it.

Yesterday, for example, Ryan was playing KINECT on his own. He was stomping all over the place. I asked him to quiet down. Moments later, the thumps got louder, so I ordered him again to quiet down. At that point, he dissolved into tears, went up to his room, and cried for at least 30 minutes. Then he came downstairs and started playing KINECT again... I was the enemy, although I had no clue why. Apparently my attempt to quiet him down caused him to lose his game...and he was not happy about that. Mea culpa!

This morning, Ryan didn't want to go to day camp. After I took them there, I asked if they were done with it. Surprisingly, both Robin and Ryan said they wanted to go. Huh??

Coming soon!!
