A conversation between a mother and a little boy.
Mother and little boy are sitting on carpet. Little boy is putting on his shoes.
“I can’t get my shoes on. It hurts.” – Little Boy
Mother looks at shoes.
“They’re too small. We’ll need to pick up some new ones this weekend.” – Mother
“We need to get some new underwear too. I want to start wearing boxers.”- Little Boy
“Excuse me? Boxers? You mean boxer briefs?” – Mother
“Yeah. I don’t want to wear underwear anymore. I want to wear boxers.” – Little Boy
“Really? Why?” – Mother
“I’m big now. I’m the only one who lives here and still wears underwear.” – Little Boy
“I wear underwear. I live here.” – Mother
“You’re a girl, Mom. Girls wear underwear and men wear boxers. I’m not a baby anymore. It’s time.” – Little Boy
“You will always be my baby”. – Mother
Mother kisses little boy on the head.
“You mean no cartoon characters on your underwear anymore?” – Mother
“Well… maybe we can find some boxers with superheros on them. That would still be cool, right? – Little Boy
“Yeah, it’s cool. Maybe I could get some too?” – Mother
“Mom, don’t talk about wearing boxers. It’s guy talk.” – Little Boy

Sounds like your little guy has a great sense of humor and a wonderful personality. He’ll thrive a the only one at home, I am sure you’ll miss the tall boy, but little boy will more than make up for him. Have a blast, and get those super hero boxers!

Hi Clay. Little Boy does have a great sense of humor. He is has learned sarcasm, so he fits right in with the rest of us. 🙂 I will miss Old Boy terribly, but you’re right. Having Little Boy will make the transition much easier. I hope you are enjoying the summer break with the family. Thanks as always for reading my blog!

I enjoy your posts and read when I can, sometimes life gets in the way and I can’t read or comment when I should. Our writing deserves to be read and shared, our stories are the way we see the world and keep ourselves moving forward. Have a great day.

This is too precious. Made me so nostalgic for the “old days”!

Thanks, Becky. Are the “old days” that far ago?
