No one said this getting back to work thing would be easy.....my whole body is screaming at me today, I don't even know why. Just know that I am over the top tired and am looking forward to the weekend, except I have to work Saturday because I am behind on hours. Poo.
In other news, my son has a date this weekend. wow. Amy is her name. By default, she seems scandelous and untrustworthy. Her tank top was about the size of my pinky. Crap.
I keep remdinding myself that a date doesn't nessisarily equate to a pregnancy, that he'll be smarter then all that and end up a virgin for at least another 10 years at which point he'll fall madly in love with the love of his life, marry and have children having only loved her. The love of his life, not Amy.
Alas, sadly I am not as naive as would be convenient in these scenarios. I know all to well what's going on here. This girl is aggressive, dresses in a manner that is obviously appealing to 16 year old boys and has an older sister with a 'reputation' as I've heard from my little spy (Bethany) at Max's school I know, I know...say what you want, I don't solicit this behavior from Bethany, she just spills it cuz she is a teenage girl and likes to gossip and if you think my ears aren't going to perk up when it comes to the subject of my child and who he's hanging out with well you are wrong. It's hard NOT to keep an open ear in such scenario's, no? And certainely I am not going to judge Amy based on what she's wearing or who her sister is, jeez that's not even fair. But it's her assertiveness that alarms me more then anything. I don't think we are dealing with an innocent.
Takes one to know one I guess one could say. laugh.
Oh well, it had to happen some time....this infatuation with girls and sex and all things hormonal driven. I'd say we've been lucky having gotten this far with him being more into soccer and cars.

This Amy chick sounds like me or you or our Amy or Peck or any one of us at that age. I'm so sure I was totally scandalous. Hee hee. It could be worse I guess.
Max will be smart - he'll wrap it up. I fully support you in embarrassing him or her in any way you can. :-P Hee hee hee.
Kody is dating a girl by the name of Kate - and she's got a bad reputation according to my little spy (Chase) - I know they are sexually active, but Kody is safe with Condoms and Kate is on birth control - they are both 17, and honestly at a certain point we can't just mother (or smother) the hell out of our boys, we just have to hope for the best.
Personally, I would vote against embarassing Max. That just seems ultimately disrespectful of him. He's allowed his ego, and he's allowed to grow and make mistakes at a young age just like we all did.
Max (& Kody & Chase) are lucky that they've got good moms that already gave them the teaching, it is now up to them whether or not they use the logic ;)
