Place any male child into a moving vehicle and their typically tight-clenched jaws become magically unhinged.
Every secret they keep, every question they ponder come spewing from their lips like the rapid fire of bullets sprayed incessantly from a machine gun.
Some of the best conversations I have ever had with Weston have occurred in the front seat of our vehicle. Whether we are traveling to or from school or headed to an appointment, it is here that Weston feels the most comfortable.
What is it about the cozy confines of the car that makes Weston want to spill his guts?
Is it an ADHD thing and simply the fact that we are moving?
Am I less distracted and more focused on listening?
Is it the lack of eye contact?
Or is it where we spend most of our time together?
Personally, I think there is some kind of magic energy, like the invisible force field that is said to envelope you when you sit beneath a pyramid. It is a power that boys seem to have trouble resisting, a kind of kiddie kryptonite designed specifically to make young males talk.
I do not understand why school principals or police interrogationists don't take better advantage of this unique and highly effective driving device that seems more potent in withdrawing information from the brains of boys than truth serum.
Today the power of the magic road riding device kicked-in on our way to the orthodontist.
It may indeed be summer, a time for relaxing and staying put for most individuals but for a busy mother with two children, chauffeuring duties seem to reach a crescendo at this time of year.
I make a right onto 133 and it begins:
"Mom, why are boys my age such punks?"
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"Well, they act silly in class, they swear all the time and talk about nothing but bums and boobs."
I resist an urge to laugh out loud as I remember a similar quality about the boys in my own freshman class.
"I think that is a pretty typical behavior for ninth graders."
"How come the girls don't act like that?" he asks.
"Hmmm," I say, thinking about his rather astute observation.
"The girls are all so pretty now, wearing make-up and nice clothes. They seem to hate all the idiots in my class," he laments.
"Well, maybe the boys are starting to feel the effects of testosterone, making them go a little crazy by thinking a lot about sex." I say tentatively.
"Yep, that's pretty much all they want to do," he replies straightly. "But the girls....they don't. It's like they are so much more mature. Why is that Mom?"
"Well maybe they are feeling the effects of estrogen and preparing for the reality of caring for children." Honestly, I have no idea if this is true....but it is all I can come up with at the spur of the moment.
"Yeah.....I think so too....Gee Mom it kinda sucks having to be mature, being the only one who is taking care of things all the time while the boys all behave like monkeys?"
I am surprised at my son's ability to see a different perspective.
Do you ever wish you were a guy?" he asks.
"Yes, Weston", I laugh. "I think you have just pretty much summed up how it feels to be a mother."
Who would have thought that a journey to the dentist would prompt such a conversation....!
I wonder if sitting in the front seat of this truth-telling, thought-provoking driving device will do the same thing for husbands?

How to restore a broken relationship and marriage ,Love Spells That Really Work Fast
ReplyDeleteMy name is Mark Davis, my family and i live in NY USA.It was after seven years i got to discover that my wife was unfaithful to me.I didn't know what was going on at first but as she got deep in the affair with her new lover, i felt that our marriage was on the rocks.I notice that she no longer light up when i touch her or kiss her in her neck and her chest cos she really liked it when i did that, she also usually get naked in front of me but when she started seeing that guy she stopped it.I remember asking her if i have done anything that makes her feel irritated when i am around her then she gives silly excuses that she has been feeling stressed up and that she need space for a while.I know when you are been asked for space its usually because there is something fishy is going on.I hired a private investigator to help find out what was going on.And in a week time he brought me prove that my wife that i have lived with for seven straight year is cheating on me with her high school lover.I had picture of her walking out a of a restaurant with him and many other photo of them kissing in public like she will never be caught by someone that knows she is my wife.I asked myself, even when we had a daughter together she could this to me.That same night i showed her the pictures that i got from my private investigator.She didn't look at it before saying, that she is seeing someone and she know that i just found out about it.Then she said that she is in love with him.At that moment, i didn't know if to kill myself or to kill her but the button line is that if i was going to kill anyone it was going to be me cos i was so much in love with her to even think of thinking to hurt her.As time when on she asked for a divorce and got it and even got custody of our daughter and i was all alone by myself.For a year i tried all i could to get her back with the help of my seven year old daughter.Even at that all effect was in vain, i used the help of her friend but turned out all bad.I know most people don't believe in spell casting but believe me this was my last option and the result i most say was impressive.And i know it difficult to believe but A SPELL CASTER Dr brave really made my life much better cos he gave me my family back.He didn't ask me to pay for what he did for me all i was to do, was to provide the materials for the spell and believe that he had the power to help me.Like he said, he was going to do something that will make her reset her love and affection for me just as it has always been.My wife told me she woke up and realized that she should have never left me that i am all she needs.To make thing clear, her life with her high school lover was great before Dr brave castled the spell they had no disagreement on anything.The guy said it himself that why she broke up with him is unexplainable.Only Dr.Brave can do such a thing contact him to solve your problem with his email:bravespellcaster@gmail.com ,or kindly visit he website http://bravespellcaster.yolasite.com .CONTACT HIM NOW FOR SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS

You can get your ex back and cure your infertility problems with Dr. Odunga.
ReplyDeleteWhen I met Dr. Odunga, my husband had divorced me because I was a barren woman of 41 and I have been married for 21 years. I was devastated and confused as a woman of my age until when I went online to look for help on how to get my marriage back then I met Dr. Odunga. Within 48 hours of contacting him, my ex husband came back home and pleaded for me to forgive him and take him back after 5 months of divorce. I accepted him back and then I told Dr. Odunga of my bareness for him to help me with child. He did the spell and sent me the natural herbs for fertility that I will use and immediately I used this medicine, I conceived. My husband got me pregnant and I gave birth to a baby girl. Presently, I am a mother of a beautiful girl and I am happy in my marriage. This is all thanks to Dr. Odunga and his wonderful work. Contact Dr. Odunga Via Whats App number +2348167159012.

ReplyDeleteI recently saw the film 'Riding in Cars with Boys' and I was thoroughly impressed. This coming-of-age story captures the essence of youth and the challenges of growing up.I provide online help assignment to students in UK so I know how it is. The film highlights the importance of perseverance and determination in the face of adversity. It serves as a reminder that our past experiences shape who we are and that we should embrace them, no matter how difficult they may be.
ReplyDeleteRiding in Cars with Boys is a classic film that always hits me right in the feels. On the topic of health, Meri Sehat's online medical services have made it possible for people to receive medical advice without leaving their homes. Their efficient and reliable online medical advice feature is a game-changer. Kudos to the Meri Sehat team!
