CA, kids, and gender hypocrisy

There is way more truth to this image than I'm willing to admit. :)





The photo is titled "Judgments."  Read the article that accompanies it for a more in-depth analysis.  




I chortled.




Our intense youngest boy.



Quote of the day, from Xander: "When God paints the sky, the wind blows and it's like a giant eraser!"

And last but not least, image of the day:  I get home from the Board of Trustees retreat, and ask the kids what they did.  Xander was feeling sick so Daddy let him watch some TV, he said.  And then he starts summarizing the plot of how Twilight Sparkle the horsie helped all her friends in Equestria and saved the world through friendship.  My jaw dropped and I looked over to Jonathan, his grimace confirming my suspicion... yep, Jonathan spent his afternoon watching My Little Pony.  The boys apparently loved it!

Best part though, was when he told me about his illness, "If you're a lot sick you go to the hospital, and if you're a little sick you go to the doctor.  But I was just a little bit sick... so all I needed was love and I got better."

    1. This post is so emotive and thought-provoking that I can't begin to spill. So I'll just endorse with emphasis every word written by Mom/Bubby, who has the gift of putting it all into a nutshell.

      Your blog is the light of my life.
