Yeah they do.
Jack turned 7 at 4:36 p.m. And, because he’s such a stickler for rules he could not enjoy being 7 until that very time. He did wake up and say “I can’t believe I’m actually 7!” But then he said “Ohhh, not really until after school…sighhh…” I tried to cheer him up with birthday waffles and a candle…and cupcakes for school, but he was a little ho-hum about it. Still moody and a bit irritable in general. I think he’ll snap out of it soon.
Jack: Since I’m 7 can I watch some things with more violence in them?
me: Huh? Uh, no…
Jack: How about Episode 3 (Star Wars)…
me: Just a little.
Jack: I’ll fast forward through the violent stuff like the shooting and dying.
me: Jack, just last year I wouldn’t let you watch commercials for pete’s sake. Sighh…
Jack: Well you were weird last year, remember??
me: Touché…
Happy Birthday Jack! I love you!
