Life is Change, and Life is Good

The boy is back home from summer camp, and he's brought back some interesting vocabulary, mannerisms, and questions. I'm trying not to be too strict for now, but whenever it comes up, I nonetheless make clear that he's being inappropriate.

As for me, now that he's back home, I'm spending more time at home, too. I'm happy to see him and to have him home, but it does mean dialing back, for a little while, on some of the things that have made this the best summer of my adult life. But life is about change, and his being here is also part of dialing those things back up for good.

I remember my brother (who was 9 or 10 at the time) coming home from sleep away baseball camp in the mid 90s. The biggest news he had to report to our family was that his camp counselor had shown them all a porn video entitled Ramboner. I guess he had a good summer that year but my parents were a little mortified.
