Proof That My Son Has Grown a Foot in a Year
Here we are on our annual trip to the top of the mountain last year:
That's Sam on the left. And here we are this year:
It's kind of weird, if you ask me.
He is handsome and wonderful. But, NO. He's not available. Nothing has made me more of a misogynist than having a teenage son. And when Maggie becomes a teenager and boys start texting, calling, talking to, and saying inappropriate things to her like some girls do to Sam, I can see myself googling "manslaughter" pretty often--just to brush up on the intricacies of the law.
Here's something rare:

That is weird. I don't remember Sam being that tall a few weeks ago. He's really as tall as you? Weird. Ben is awesome.
ReplyDeleteDang, Sam! He's about to surpass Christian!
ReplyDeleteVery apt, and knowing is half the battle.
ReplyDeleteIts amazing what happens when the hormones kick in isn't it? Is he also eating tons. My son can eat like I cant believe. I keep reminding him he has a whole new body this year. I can't understand why he finds this offensive. I'm talking about his biceps not his... you know.
ReplyDeleteI believe that condition is called "teenagerus weedicus". It won't be long before my 13 year old will be eyeball to eyeball with me.
ReplyDeleteSchool photos are the source of unending hilarity - many years later we can look at them rationally - and then burst out laughing once more!!
ReplyDeleteAnd you look a lot like Erika in the hair do photo!!
ReplyDeleteWow, he is so tall and grown up.
ReplyDeleteI think you should write an article for some avant garde backwoods magazine about giant schnauzers, giant sons, and giant lawn gnomes. It could even turn into a series.
ReplyDeleteOkay - the hair comment belongs on my niece's blog - how did that happen??
ReplyDeleteHe's so good-looking! And look at you--you're just this petit little young mom standing next to him!
ReplyDeleteThat last picture got my funnybone.
