Out of Control: Part 2

The first lesson?

Little boys are not like little girls.

Little boys have lots of energy and it needs to go somewhere.  And it needs to go there fast.  And furious.

Little boys have some sort of magic power that enables them to produce rocks and sticks and dirt and bits of everything else from what seems like right out of thin air.  And they stick all of it in their pockets.

I learned to check those pockets right quick before throwing them in the washing machine.

My bathrooms needed cleaning more often.  Little boys do not have good aim.  Nor do they always remember to put the seat up.

Or down.

I also learned that our house was a nice place with some of that little boy energy in it.  Even if we didn’t always know what to do with it or it sometimes needed to be redirected or harnesses in a little bit.

Yeah.  That harnessing bit?

The lessons were about to get harder.
