Initiative
For those of you
that were wondering... since alot of my posts are about my son, he
does get to preview and has veto power over the photos and content
before I post.

My guys were away
for the past two weeks. They both returned a few days ago. Both, curiously
enough, had similar experiences.
Both:
Hiked
Explored a crater
Got cuts on their feet and legs
Lost weight
Were mosquito bitten
Wore their shoes to the max
Slept out under the stars, with another guy(s)
Had an incredible, memorable time
DJ
also got to sleep in a tent with 3 other women, so they differ here
on that respect. :)
DJ
came back, giddy with a new love interest.
Me: What happened to LG?
DJ: She’s always bored. She’s not that interesting.
Me: See… it’s true isn’t it—someone who says
they are bored all the time, ARE boring!
DJ: Yeah.
We
had the talk about beware of women that want you to entertain them all
the time.
So
here is the story!
While camping at a large state park, DJ’s class had to drive occasionally
to their various destinations. On one such drive, Mg [a girl] had everyone
in the car play ‘Truth or Dare’. On DJ’s turn he chose
truth.
Mg: Who do you like?
DJ: Kl and Jl
Mg: Jl doesn’t like you. Yeah, she told me two weeks ago.
DJ: Oh…. Kl [who happened to be in the car] would you like to
go with me on a group date to see the new Star Wars movie?
Kl: Sure!
Later
that day, DJ notices that Jl seems sad. The vibe from her had definitely
changed. “On no!” thought DJ, “Mg was wrong. I’ve
made a mistake! I knew I should have found out for myself.” We
later identified Mg as a calculating bitch and to avoid people like
that in the future.
DJ
tells Jl and Kl that he wants to talk to both of them. So later that
night, he sits them both down and explained what happened in the car
earlier that day.
DJ: I’m sorry for believing Mg.
Jl: Yeah, what’s your point?
DJ: I can tell that you like me, Jl.
Jl: What if I do?
DJ: Well, I like you both and want to take both of you to the movie.
Is that OK?
Jl: Yes! <big smile>
I’m
laughing hysterically. I can’t wait to tell BRKVW. He smiles and
says, “Right On!” From my point of view, DJ is sure enough
12, which translates to mainly lazy. Sure he has interests here and
there, but besides video games, I don’t see much initiative. Here
is an area [girls] that he wasted no time and took initiative. I love
it!
