Kids!

There's an old axiom - "We spend the first 2 years of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk, and the next 16 years telling them to sit down and shut up." I would offer a small modification to that axiom stating that we spend 16 years trying to teach them when to "sit down and shut up." This is something I mention, because I went through it today - with a vengeance.

For three years, we have taught the boys that interrupting, while another person is speaking, is rude and unacceptable. We had company this afternoon, with whom Mark and I were trying to talk. Whatever random thought went through Michael's head, flew unabated out of his mouth. It didn't matter how many times I reminded him of what is acceptable behavior; he just couldn't be still. In fact, we nearly had to move him out of the desk chair because he couldn't sit quietly either.

Guess I'll be reminding Michael and the school that he is not allowed to have sugar.
