I'm so proud

Riding in the car this evening and looking for some toys he'd brought along, Jr. said, "Daddy, where's the box with my balls in it?"

He paused for a moment and added, "That didn't sound too good, did it?"

That's my boy. Eight and a half, and already out-snarking his old man.

(I didn't have the heart to tell him that someday his wife would keep that box with her ... forever.)

Quick wit on that one.

Talking with my nephew Danny Watts about hunting is becoming a challenge and an invigoration. Danny is now bow hunting and bow shooting like a fiend. So he is asking me a million questions about what "Uncle Doug" did when he was his age and what Uncle Doug would do now and does do now. Danny and I talk alot about the ethics of hunting when everyone else has gone to sleep and it's just he and I talking. He's 13 years old and has made me grow up a lot.
