My kids go to the local rec center while they are off track. Jacobb was complaining the other night that he has no friends there and he always plays by himself. Which I have discovered over the years is only true for the first 30 minutes. Almost every day I pick him up I have to "wait" while he finishes up an activity that he is doing - WITH THE OTHER KIDS (that he really isnt playing with.... mmhmm)
So, he tells me this the other night and I tell him I will talk to the teachers and ask them to help him make a friend, as Jacobb can be a bit shy. We get there the next morning and walk in the room and there are girls everywhere! and a group of boys in this one part of the room. So without hesitation I walk over to the boys and say "can Jacobb play with you" and they just sit there and stare at me so I say "do you know Jacobb?" they shake their heads up and down and I repeat " can he play with you?". They once again shake their heads up and down so I turn around to tell Jacobb he can play with them and he loudly (& angrily) tells me "MOMMM!I DONT WANT TO PLAY WITH FIRST GRADERS!!!" and went and played with a girl.
His response took me by surprise and I have been laughing about it for the last couple of days.
Who was I to know I was talking to first graders?
