Sons

My sons broke the garden light yesterday's evening. They were always in trouble and we have to keep reminding them to be careful. Will have to drive to the hardware shop to see if we can find a replacement.

Joe said he was at least glad that they admitted they were sorry about it after breaking it yesterday. I think they informed us and apologise because they were afraid we will find out this morning. Anyway considered that a small step to sensibility.

Anyone with sons will tell me boys will be boys. I even have a book "Bringing up Boys" but somehow I find myself still getting mad at them.

Yesterday did the hair treatment for head lice for them again. Guess what? My boys screamed and complained that I hurt them whereas my girls were pacified with my words. They kept saying not going to do it again and etc. Complaints and lots of screams. Somehow I thought boys are supposed to be tougher than girls but they really very diu1 lian3. Do boys have a lower threshold of pain or that they just supersensitive on touch??

Now they are going 9 yrs old- another 9 yrs to go to send them for NS. Wondered how to survive the 9 yrs with them getting into trouble now and then? One of my friends was sent to boarding school in UK since 12 yrs old. IF being together means trouble, maybe sending one away to boarding school is an option. But --- the million question is which of the twins should I send? Charles or chantz?????
