I LOVE MY 12 YEAR OLD!!!! 

So, we are in the car tonight. Chandler has NOT STOPPED talking for the last 3 or 4 hours....litterally. (wonder where he gets that from?) When he is like this there is NO stopping him, he just goes on and on. But, I never want to tell him to "Hush" because I know there will be a day that he won't want to talk to us at all, so we try to not discourage it. Also, when he is like this, he tends to say some VERY funny things. Tonight was no exception. We were discussing "dating" and all that and here is what was said....

Chandler- "Isn't the person you date supposed to be your best friend? Like, aren't you supposed to want to spend alot of time together?"

Me- "Well, no not really. You should each have your own friends and your own lives outside of your 'girlfriend' " (this is my attempt to teach him not to let some cute little chicky-poo dominate all of his time when he starts dating-a mom can try can't she?"

Randy- "Alot of times you date people who aren't anything like you. You know, opposites attract"

Chandler- "Hmmm... you mean like you and Mom? She's "artsy" and you're "fartsy"

I nearly wet my pants. The kid speaks the truth I tell ya! That couldn't be more on the money, of our relationship. :)

I love that kid!
