Kids

[Brute 23]

Yesterday we met at the Dq for supper. It was my brother, nephew, my parents and me.

My nephew just finished up kindergarten. At the beginning of the year my brother was saying all these little girls were always coming up to him at parties and events and stuff to talk or say hi/bye. He knew all their names and all that. It was pretty funny.

So yesterday evening I asked... what's your little girlfriends name? He got a little quiet and was looking around. At first I thought I embarrassed him a little.

He came around the table and made a little signal for me to lean over and said I'll tell you a secret...

Im a little nervous because this dude is too smart for his own good. He keeps looking around and I realize he's looking more towards my mom.

When I lean over he covers his mouth facing them and says... those girls are craaazy, man

My dad is beside me and hears also. We started rolling laughing. He learns quick.

Now that is funny, wonder where he heard that

When our oldest was 7 or 8 he was on the playground at church when a girl a couple years older started fussing at him for hogging the swing. He looked at her, kinda cocked his head sideways and asked her "Do you have fever with those fits?". My wife was embarassed but I thought the girls mom was going to poop a brick.
He got that from my Dad who would asked that when any of the kids or grandkids was throwing a fit or tantrum, usually right before the belt got removed.

Neighbor brought his grandsons fishing at the watershed and they stopped by the house afterwards. My Labs were all over the kids, so I introduced them: This one is Festus, this one is Dillon. 5-year-old child looked me straight in the eye and said, "Hmmm. Grandpa calls them Dumb and Dumber." My neighbor almost died of embarrassment. I busted a gut. First of all, he's not wrong. And Dumb and Dumber is one of the best movies ever. How could I be offended?

Dad had an apartment complex with a few potholes in the parking lot that had water in in them. Dad told those kids not to play in the parking lot. One little girl piped up and said we can once you are gone. She already had it all figured out.

Neighbors have 2 free range ranch boys. They are 2 and 4, soon to be 3 and 5. They are fearless and at that young age they do lots of things. They both help move cattle horse back. Not ponies, but smaller horses. The older one is a good backhoe operator while sitting on dads or grandpas lap. We have decided that they are the wild bunch. Just haven't decided which is Butch Cassidy and which is the Sundance Kid. But they are both certainly wild.

I was telling my wife about this thread last evening and she said it's because kids don't have filters, and it's refreshing.

I've got 3 boys 2,5,8 and they are a wild bunch, try to limit their time in public settings because there's no telling what they will do or say.

My 2yo has to go out every morning and check on the skid steer and then goes to daycare and tells everybody about it. The 5yo helped vaccinate and fly tag cows last weekend. And both the older boys run skid steer and excavator without my help anymore, I'm now the gate opener.

Hoping soon they can take over and I'll just assist as needed. Ha

Oftentimes, Mr. TC doesn't have a filter. Not always refreshing.

I’m a bit ashamed at times that my filter hasn’t matured along with my age. Just certain situations. Most of the time it’s okay because brutal honesty is something we need in this world.

You can't argue; he makes a good point.

(Apologies ladies)

My son got pretty good at doing stuff in high school for me. It was a big help. It was an butt whoopin when he left for college.

I need to call him this evening and make sure he can come in to help me work cows next week.

My son is 14. Like John Wayne said “There between hay and grass “ He’s darn good help but he’s still learning fineness. You don’t need a 12lb sledgehammer to swat flies.
He started working for a neighbor lady last year and that has been great. Learning how other people do things different than dad does has been a great eye opener for him as to how we do what we do.

Having the opportunity to work for others is important. It allows them to bloom into something besides an idiot . I know it certainly helped my kids and made a remarkable difference compared to only working with mom and dad.

I agree 100%. My son is working at the same place I worked when I was in college. Its a great family, the treated us like family, and they teach them (us) kids a ton. As a parent, its a huge relief knowing some one is looking out for him up there and I can already see all the skills he has learned there when he comes home. That education is priceless to me.

There is no way I will ever be able to show my thanks to them.
