Obviously, based on the lack of posts here, I don't have much time for this anymore. But when my boys say the wildest things, I guess this is as good a place as any to put it so I'll try and blog on that for awhile and see where it goes. I'll subject these all "Things Kids Say," and here's the one that got this going again.
My two older sons, 6 and 5, were playing "Penguins of Madagascar" and the younger told the older one that he, meaning the older one, should be the "boss." The older one immediately rejected the opportunity to be the "boss" by saying:
"I don't want to be the boss. Being the boss is boring!"
In a culture and time that stresses the need to achieve greatness, be the best, be the top dog, I find it refreshing that he came up with this. Being the boss IS boring from a certain perspective. Often times the boss is stuck telling others what to do and they are the ones who actually get to go and do them! Always a great deal more fun being in the midst of the action, unless of course it involves cleaning out port-a-potty's or something like that I suppose.
