Ahhhhh, the heart of a 7 year old boy is a fickle one. Teddy came home last night announcing that Kung Fu Panda was the greatest movie...ever...of all time....just the best. Of course he went with his best friend Jacob (who spent the night here by the way) and Ted (which means Connor & Tessi were home and nowhere near in sight), had popcorn, lemonade (remember, that's actually Sprite here) and a choc top (that's a vanilla ice cream cone dipped in chocolate) and got to stay up until 10pm (bedtime is usually 8) Alright! Enough with the parenthesis!!
I think Ted could have taken him to see My Little Pony and he would have had fun under those circumstances.
Ted walked in behind the boys with a bit of glazed eyes but he did say that they were well-behaved...they were 7 year old boys, but well-behaved. I have to chortle a bit though. Ted has always had stories about him as a boy and generally just about how he has behaved as a "guy" through out his life and wow...sometimes even he looks at Teddy and just shakes his head in bewilderment. For example, apparently one of the funniest scenes ever put on film was when the panda's butt landed on his opponent's head...in super slow motion. Teddy and Jacob nearly wept with glee over that one. I have visions of them play acting that scene out all night. Fortunately I went to bed so I could ignore them. Parenting-schmarenting, these boys are WEIRD!
This is Jacob's last week with us. Next week his family is moving out of the country for 4 years. Goodbye Jacob! You've been a great friend to Teddy and he will miss you terribly. I bet though when you come back at age 11, Teddy will still be willing to have his butt land on your head...by then he might be better at the super slow mo.
