Dude I am gonna take you down!






Our Spidey has always kinda been the kid that has fun with other kids, but doesn't act very competitive. Not that he doesn't act competitive (I don't want emails from friends saying, well there was that time he was over and he did blah blah blah) I get that he can be competitive, just in general he is laid back. Yesterday Spidey had his friend JS over and JS challenged me to a game of pool and his exact words were, "Dude I am gonna take you down!" He close to did, but once Spidey saw he and I were having fun playing he took my place, saved face for me and then began making up rules that caused no one to be "taken down". Sheesh......BigGuy came no where near any of this. He stayed quietly on the computer so that a Kindergarten Fats Domino didn't "take him down" and shame him forever. Spidey and JS battled it out the rest of the time they had together. Wrestling, air hockey, pool, games - whatever they were playing they were both saying "Dude this" and "Dude that". It was quite cute - although we would never say that to either of those hard nosed little pool sharks.

I'm glad to see your children are now at least wearing pants when they have friends over. :D It must be colder there. ;D

Ahh...you over estimate the growth we have had - they stopped at only taking off shirts because I stopped them. We had no interest in explaining to JS's parents (whom we hardly know) why he was in his undies when they arrived to pick him up. The good news - Spidey didn't initiate taking anything off - the bad news, he followed along immediately.
