My 10 year old boy is fairly articulate for his age.
Every year his teachers tell me the same thing. "Usually the most mature person in the class is a girl, but this year its your son."
Inside I cringe because he is very smart, but mature? Not even.
When we first moved here my aunt asked him why he wasn't making friends faster. He was already into the second month of school and only had one friend.
He said, "Most of the boys in my class are out of control. I find the exact same situation on the school bus."
She asked him what he meant by out of control.
He said, "They act like they have no sense. They rough house so much it always ends in a fist fight. They don't have proper boundaries."
When he was 4 he sat down beside me on the couch and held my hand and said, "Mom. We need to talk about you taking some parenting classes."
Uh, yeah. Nothing like your 4 year old saying you suck.
When he was two I was reading a book on discipline. Well somehow he made the connection because he threw that book in the toilet, then wagged his finger in my face and said, "No no Mama. Bad book."
My second is more physical, not as articulate, but every bit as smart. He just shows it in other ways.
I love kid stories can't ya tell? haha
