How things have changed in a year!
A few minutes ago, E and a friend ran out the door shouting “we’re off to the forbidden forest!” The forbidden forest, of course, is the kudzu patch behind the house. The boys have found the only way to kill kudzu short of buying goats - human feet. It’s quite impressive, really.
A year ago, I remember meeting up with Katie and the kids at a free Disc Exchange show (Time Lee? Scott Miller?). We hadn’t been dating long, and my experience with kids was mostly limited to trying to remember my childhood. Immediately on arriving at the store that night, Katie left me in charge of the kids while she ran and got some pizza.
“Wait, I’m in charge???”
I had no clue what to do. I figured a 14 year old could handle himself, but E and J? Unsure of what to do, I followed them around the store at what I supposed to be a reasonable distance. Katie got back probably twenty minutes later and rescued me with a laugh.
So yeah, go play in the kudzu. Just don’t take the machete!
