Interaction with my middle child:

me: "That video game music is seriously annoying."
D: "Yes, yes it is really annoying."

D: "Oh, wait, do you want me to turn the music off?"
me: "Yes, thank you." (I was just about to ask him that, actually.)

One thing D is teaching me is how to ask directly for things, rather than hint. (As I said, I was about to ask him to turn it down.) I was quite pleased, though, that he sensed my discomfort and was able to make the logical step to asking about it. This shows increased social awareness, which is good. I don't want him to try and mind read, but having him be more aware of nuance and social clues will help him down the road.

My kids just blow me away sometimes....

Just now, D and I were discussing what songs he has on his iTunes (all-Beatles, all the time). He said "I've got 'The Long and Winding Road'." "Is that your favorite Beatles song?" "Yes, because life is like that -- life is a long and winding road."


He's ten.

J and I often watch t.v. in the evenings. (I'm usually folding clothes as well.) We hang out, make snarky comments, that sort of thing. On Thursdays we watch CSI and Without a Trace, and on Tuesdays we try to catch The Amazing Race. Tonight was the final episode of Amazing Race 6. Afterwards, they showed scenes from the next season, and two of the contestants are Rob and Amber (who won Survivor All-Stars last year).

J looked at the screen and said "What? Are fifteen minutes not long enough for you people?!?!"

My kid. I think I'll keep him.
