Do you have an 8 year old boy? Do you know an 8 year old boy? These are a few things you need to keep in mind:
- If you say something that is obviously meant to be taken figuratively, they will answer it as if you mean it literally. Because they think that is hil.ar.i.ous. Take proper precautions.
- You might need to be holding an electronic device with Minecraft on it to get them to snuggle up to you.
- Another good way to sneak in cuddle time is to read a book to him. He’s going to need to be close to see the pictures!
- Accept the fact that you can no longer go to the store and buy him pants and assume they will fit him correctly without having him try them on.
- Regarding those pants? They will have holes in the knees the second time they wear them.
- Want to make his day? Give him $5 and let him go crazy in the Dollar Store!
- You should also be aware that the underwear you bought him when he was 5 no longer really fit that well.

Thanks for the amusing post! It sure brings back the good ol’ days of parenting – days I sometimes miss, but I’m quickly cured of this feeling after having my grandkids here for a week. A fun week, but not a life I wish to go back to after experiencing freedom!! Still, it is very good for you to find the humor in it while you are living it!
