  • You know, every once in a while..... 

    Just fetched Dmitry from school, and spent a fair amount of the drive
    home periodically bleating "DMITRY!" to his impassioned jeremiads
    against some boy who apparently threatened to beat him up after school,
    such jeremiad ranging from plans to grow his nails long so the villain
    can be cut, to hiring a "hunt man" ("Dear, I think you mean hit man...."), to pleas for a home gym with a eye to bulking up, the better to "smash his face into the wall".

    This was a fun drive, to be sure.

    However, as soon as he hit the back door his mood brightened as he
    cheerily told me, "Nice knowing you!" which is his standard way of
    letting me know it's game time; before he headed to his room, however,
    he requested a snack.  Upon my offering to put a Totino's pizza in
    the oven for him, he thanked me profusely as he trotted down the hall.

    Then he stopped and called out, "I love you, Mom!" 

    Did I mention it was two years ago this very day he arrived home? 

    Love you too, sweetie.

  • Happy Coming Home Day, Dmitry Ivy!

    Sounds like any boy I know of that age - mood changes - sheesh and they talk about us women!

    me<><

  • How about he takes some ju jitsu or such!! they teach self defense!! Why don't you check it out?

  • Actually, he's requested "kung fu" and I keep forgetting to visit a place I found on the west side. Need to do that, I daresay. If nothing else, it's exercise, of which he doesn't get enough.

  • If you drive to Denton, he can come play at our Judo club. It's a lot of fun.

  • Bennett is taking "Shito Ryu" karate at our YMCA and is loving it. He's been in twice a week classes since July and hopefully will be ready to test for the next belt soon.

    And happy coming home day to all of you!
