Voice of the Spirit Calls!
*WAR WHOOPS FROM WV* *APPLAUSE*
Now, get some rest!
It's actually 1 30-minute drive each way. Unfortunately by the time I got there, he didn't have any more matches. However, he won his previous match either 7-0 or 7-2 (the other kid had a reversal as the whistle blew, so we're not sure if it counted).
When your first-born asks his mom to come watch him wrestle, you can't say no. He is a teenager, after all. Pretty soon he won't be talking to me at all.
BTW, he came in 3rd in the tournament.
I've been saying all along that you two are great parents, and this just proves it. Kudos to you, Ellen! And also to Christopher for placing 3rd!
Okay this is just tooooo weird, "Ellen" and "Christopher", don't know if I'd get used to that. 
Wishing the Rocker Guy Family a very Happy 4th.!
Hope you had a great Canada Day! It's weird typing the names out instead of using code. But there's no reason not to use them.
Wow, this post is full of stuff! Feeling overwhelmed... 
I laughed at The Wife's summary statement, "He is a teenager, after all. Pretty soon he won't be talking to me at all." Very funny! Yep, she's Supermom alright. Congrats to Maverick for doing so well. Good stuff right there.
And you're pretty funny yourself, with your, "Awfully kind of Him. That's why we're such tight pals."
Happy 4th of July weekend.
Hope you're having a great weekend!
I try to stay tight with the Big Guy. I think it will come in handy one day. We definately need to be talking to the teen while he'll still talk to us. I'm sure one of these days he'll realize we don't know anything any longer.
I loved your post, very funny and well written!
Thanks! Welcome to my humble abode.
Have I ever told you my theory as to why teenagers think their parents don't know anything? i don't think I have...
My theory is this: Listen to the conversations between parents and children when they're under 10. Especially when they're really little. Parents ask their children rhetorical questions to teach them things. What's that letter? What's that color? What's your name? Can you tie your shoe? The list of repetitive questions go on and on.
Eventually, as a child gets older and matures to teenagerism, they realize that you're supposed to ask questions if you don't know they answer. So they figure their parents never knew the questions to any of that stuff and therefore, as the child, he/she must've known more than the parents all along.
Thus, parents are stupid.
Well, that answers it then. Of course, in my case, since my parents were off the boat, I thought there's no way they could really understand what American kids were going through. Plus, they grew up in the 50's. How could they possibly relate to the 80's? Right?
I meant, the parents never knew the answers to any of those (simple) questions... sorry. I think you get my drift, though.
Indeed. Luckily, our kids don't think we're stupid, just that we don't understand their question and/or answer properly.
