Around 9pm we hadn't heard from Devon. We assumed he would take the shuttle bus back to our church, since that is what we do with all activities. But, no. He wasn't at our church and the other church was looking empty.
When he finally came running in the door at 9:45 I was freaking out. 1. He was late, and we didn't know where he was. 2. Because he was beat red, gasping for air and holding his chest and sides like someone had beaten the tar out of him.
Apparently no one had beaten him up. They left that for me. He was playing basket ball with some kids, which was fine, IF HE HAD CALLED ME!!! OH, and the kicker, he had my cell phone with him the whole time, without asking for it.
So, Devon is asking why I am spazzing at him about it, he was just at the church playing ball, and whats the big deal if he walks home in the dark without a coat in November in Minnesota?
Then it looks like a light bulb came on in his head and he grabs his magazine from the rally and starts showing everyone WHY I am freaking out and he isn't. This handy-dandy little hormone chart was in there. Apparently, they are telling the boys that we are psycho because our hormones are constantly changing and theirs, albeit high, are at least steady, so they don't have mood swings. Nice.
Here is what I have to say in reply:

The hormone comment is a kick in the gut.

I can't believe the boy is still alive. He should be on his knees thanking his Heavenly Father that his mother is forgiving. =)
Ha! Ha! I love the poster!
Thanks for the laugh. I enjoyed it.

Hey, that post is just great! Thankfully my two boys are only just approaching that age and so far have been pretty good. I'm waiting for it to arrive though, as BB has started high school this year and the changes are coming fast & thick!
If it's okay, I'd like to use that poster on my blog too, it's brilliant!
If only he'd taken the bus back to our church, Ray and I could have given him a ride home. We ended up sitting there until almost 9pm the way it was, and it had nothing to do with the youth!
Yes, there were a few kids waiting for Chad or older siblings to come home, but it came down to 2 Awana boys, who's parents had gotten their wire crossed and thought each other were bringing the two home!
I mentioned you in my blog today.
Just be thankful that you're teaching him the hormone card is WAY INNAPROPRIATE especially when it's THEM that did the wrong thing. Hopefully he won't do the same thing to his wife and she'll thank you for it!
That is great! I love your sarcastic responce! YOU KILL ME!
He will learn...someday....maybe! :)
Are you feeling better?
