Tomorrow oldest son will feel more like a paleontologist. He will have officially gone on a fossil dig. He is so excited he can barely contain himself. He can barely contain himself on most days, so he is really bouncy today. Add to it that a young lady he is very fond of will be joining him on the dig. She digs dinosaurs too and that makes oldest son smile from ear to ear. The day will be filled with funny moments…I must remember not to embarrass him.
Funnier moments will come from the idea of oldest son asking youngest son to be his wing man. The modern interpretation of this role really isn’t that different from the original, a pilot who supports another pilot in a possibly dangerous flying situation. But picture it–a six-year-old trying to be wing man for an eight-year-old. Neither of these guys have any experience with the ladies.
The advice this evening at bedtime was to be yourself, less is more, and think of her first.
My main function tomorrow is two-fold. Do not embarrass the big guy as he tries to impress her. And run defense for the wing man. Can you dig it?
