Priceless

Ahhhhh, the intricate workings of a ten-year-old boy.  Monday, my son woke up in a dismal mood.  He was very agitated and hard to motivate.  Everything seemed to bring him to tears.  I thought this had something to do with the "BIG TALK" he and his father had the night before.  I asked him if he was okay and he said "Yes, but I have a lot of things that I am thinking about."  I asked him if it had anything to so with the sex talk the night before.  "No, I just can't decide which sports to play next year.  Dad and I talked about that too and I am really stressed about what decision I should make."  So much for the sex talk impact.  I guess sports over sex is the reality for ten year old boys.  It is what shapes their hearts and minds.  I am grateful that I have a little more time with my baby boy.  Not much, but I will cherish these precious remaining ten-year-old moments where sports wins over sex (though I think some men never grow out of this phase).
