 Posted: 03/30/04 - 13:49 Post subject: they're just kids
but sometimes I can't believe how much they don't know: we are watching a video about the life of Mozart. a 6th grader just came up to me and asked if the guy in the video is "really" Mozart.  I asked him why the "guy" was dressed like George Washington. not a clue. at the end of the video the actor takes off the powdered wig and says "I'm not Mozart" I can't wait until this kid sees that part!

My kid made the mistake of calling me "old man" during baseball practice last night. I told him I may be old but I could still kick his ass and then asked any of the other kids if they wanted to call me old man. There was no response.  One kid asked me later how old I was and I told him. He immediately replied "well, I don't think that's old"..... tee hee

Will is a nice kid. He likes to ask me what games I played on the GameCube when I was little, or what my favorite computer game was. He looks at me in shock and disbelief when I tell him that I didn't have such things growing up. The look is usually followed by "Well what did you DO then, Mom?"

His agent told him self-expression at this point would be fatal to his career.
