Younger Brother Syndrome
H -YA are you ready to get dressed?
YA - I want to go camping
H - YA are you ready to go to school?
YA - I want to go camping.
H - Wouldn't you rather go see Teacher Karen?
YA - No, I want to go camping.
He doesn't even know what camping is, but since YW did it, he should get to do it too. I have a younger sister, so I am at a disadvantage in figuring out his thought process: I'm not a younger brother and I don't have a younger brother. In addition to needing to go camping, he also needs to take swimming lessons and have his own bicycle (or as he says it, bike-isul).
Soccer season should be especially exciting; I expect him to charge onto the field at some point in every game YW plays. Speaking of which, I'm signed up to be YW's coach. I think I might have to see the movie Kicking and Screaming to see what's in my future.
