The Talented Son
I have been doing a lot of soul searching over the past few weeks and I have concluded that each member of The Family has his own idea of what me, The Mommy should do for him. We are a very active family – we visit many places. Still they complain about being BORED. The oldest son complains that I am unfair in not allowing sleepovers. Well, The Mommy is tired of entertaining the 13-year-old son and his friends. I would very much like them to come to the house – I just do not want to hear about how BORED they are — NOT The Mommy’s problem!
If this sounds like a rant, then you are absolutely correct! It is just that – a rant! Or maybe it’s a pout or perhaps it is an adult-sized tantrum. In any case, it’s all here for the world to see.
This oldest and talented son of mine – he is infinitesimally brilliant in the arts. He can dance, play the drums, guitar, as well as draw, paint, and sculpt. I have no earthly idea where he gets the talent. I possess no such gifts!
The problem resides in the fact that he does not know what to do with these gifts and when it becomes challenging, his guises the challenges as boredom.
So here it is! A picture of The Talented Son –
