Last night as I was making supper for the pack, the middle one comes up to me and starts talking about World of Warcraft, which is a household addiction. Even the little one, all of five years old, has a character what he rides the boats with. But instead of talking about new gear or quests that he had just completed, he blew me away with what he had to say. "I'm going to quit playing World of Warcraft."
This came to me totally out of left field. He is the one, out of all of them, I thought would max out his character first. He just isn't going to let that happen. He quit. He is done. He is over it. Moondun is no more.
Even more astonishing was his reasoning for quiting (10 year old are too smart for their own good sometimes). He is quitting because school is back in and he just doesn't have time for it and doesn't want it to be a distraction. Bravo I say. Good for him for realizing that real life comes first at such at young age. I'm always proud of my boys, no matter what they do, but this puts it over the top. Perhaps I thought more like a child all things will fall into perspective.

wow good for josh.. good for him
Yeah, and it's not like i could tell him no. He clearly has a better understanding of what is going on than I give him credit for.
At the ripe old age of 27 I'm just starting to figure that out.
Sometimes ti takes a while, but he is mostly untouched by the harshness of the real world
Wow. I know full grown people who haven't figured that out. Cool.
Diggin' the new blog, btw. Best of luck with it.
Thanks, I figured I needed a non-violent way to express myself. This is the best I could come up with.
Out of the mouths of babes . . . they will amaze you every time. And yes, Jeremy, if we all thought (and loved) the way children do, this ol' ugly world would be a much better place.
I'm proud of you! :-)
