Anybody out there have or had recently an 8 year old? Anybody have any idea if this is “normal”? My son Judah uses words like “modify”, I don’t think I even use that word. Here is how it went down. On our way home from Jui Jitsu and Judah and Josiah were playing some kind of game that Judah made up, not real sure about what it was all about because I wasn’t really paying attention until he started saying this.
“MOM! Josiah keeps modifying my game that I made up. And it won’t be my game any more if he keeps modifying it. Josiah, don’t modify my game anymore!”
And he went on and on and on about it. I’m not sure they got it figured out, but I told Josiah to make up his own game to which he said that all the games had already been made up and he didn’t know what to make one up about.
Dinner was spaghetti and salad with apples and walnuts it was delicious and got surprisingly 5 out of 5 kids!
Now if you excuse me I have to study for a test I have to take sometime between now and Saturday. Anybody want to watch some kids for me so I can go take a test? Didn’t think so.
Haha! That's great. When I was like 5 or so my mom sent me to my room without dinner. I stood at the top of the stairs with my hands on my hips and yelled, "Fine! I'll just wither away!" My mom had to turn around so I couldn't see her laughing. Dramatic and a killer vocabulary. What a combination. I'm just waiting for the day that Amelia does the same thing to me.
