Someone once told me that if you can survive an 8-yr. old boy, you can survive anything.
I believe it.
Our son's birthday presents of a season each of Man vs. Wild and Survivorman, coupled with his 10-yr. old "mentor" Justin's earlier exploits and the presence of a 7-yr. old neighbor GIRL, produced the following:

Actually, he grossed out TWO girls. I was napping at the time. Lily woke me to say in an awed voice, "Mama! Ben just ate a worm!" His lively description at dinner that worms taste "salty at first, but then sweet" did nothing to help my appetite. But my reaction greatly heightened his experience.
And I have at least two more boys to live through?

ok, finally i get the msg. i will be arriving un invited, un announced, and un wanted. i will bring dozens of gooey cupcakes with 2 inches of frosting and feed children until they are fully coated with stickyness. then a game will begin: see how much interior of house surface can be reverse frosted, like re gifting. while children are making mom weep, i will measure mama for her own personal tent. i just happen to have 22 yards of 60 inch wide fabric, printed in gigantic flowers in purple, hot pink, bright red and blinding yellow; just the outfit for declaring yourself as a zip code. on the bright side... valentine's day will never be the same for you, or any of us!
