“Mom?   You know why I think this is so hard for you sometimes?”

“Why’s that?”

“Because we’re boys.  And you grew up with girls.”

i’ve always thought i somehow inherited an abnormal dose of masculine warrior blood. while i have no problem getting in touch with my sensitive and nurturing feminine side, there’s a part of my heart that was made to unite and conquer.

i was born to fight.

 

i was born to die.

so it thrills me beyond belief

to let the boys be boys–

and while one of my biggest reasons for wanting to homeschool was so my kids can spend their days exploring the world

it completely freaks me out of my mind.

It kills me.
