Seriously, these boys have asked me such profound, enlightening, disturbing and puzzling questions. On one hand, I've looked at the world in a way that one can't unless you are Cole, Finn or Cash. On the other, I've had more discussions about bodily functions and said the word "penis" more times than a urologist.
This week Cole and I were having a not-so-fun discussion about his friend Kyson. Kyson tends to get Cole into trouble, so we've been learning a lot about being a leader versus a follower.
ME: If Kyson wants to make a choice that you know is bad, you can still be his friend by suggesting a better alternative. You can lead Kyson to make better choices. (Notice my superior parenting skill of making Kyson's behavior bad and not making Kyson, the boy, bad. Right now I am feeling like a parental guru.)
COLE:(LONG PAUSE) But mom, doesn't that just make Kyson a follower?
ME: (CHOKING ON MY WATER)
COLE: And Jesus is our leader, aren't we still followers?
ME:(LONGER PAUSE)Just drink your milkshake.
I really have no words.
Cole the parental flummoxing mastermind
