Hi! Long time.
I have a funny story to share with you guys.
Earlier this year, my son Pete came up from the man cave in the basement after playing xbox and said, "Mom, my xbox friend E wants to meet up at Get Air and hang out!"
Ummm.....no.
"No way, Pete. Your friend Evan is probably a pedophile waiting to pounce. Not gonna happen."
I didn't hear any more about Pete's on line friend until 2 weeks ago.
"Mom, my friend E lives in Vermont! He is in a play too so I'm going to go to his play and he's going to come up for my play."
Oh, great.
Then a few days later, Pete can up from the man cave with a stunned look on his face.
"Mom, do you have a friend named A who lives in Stowe?"
"Yyyeeeessss....how did you know that?"
"She is my friend E's mom! And she told E months ago that I was probably a pedophile too. Small world, right?"
Then he had a cute little "I told ya so" grin on his face.
So E is not a pedophile at all! And we have known his parents A and S for 20 years. And we think they all are awesome and on Friday we went to E's amazing play and this coming Friday they are coming up for Pete's play.
Crazy, right?
But I told Pete "We totally lucked out with that one. No more on line friends. They are all pedophiles. Except E."
Can't be too careful.
Well done all! What a great story.
ReplyDeleteBoth mums know best and so lovely that these boys are really just boys after all hey,
As a mom of a 5 year old little boy, who was just recently diagnosed as having an autism spectrum disorder and ADHD I so VERY much appreciate reading the stories about your son and all of the marvelous milestones that he's reached to become such an intelligent, caring young man. Although I know that I'm not, there are still several times a day that I feel so alone and like no one else understands my fears! Thank you for all the work that you do!
