Easter, basketball and Southpark....

For the first time in a long time Easter has been just the three J's, myself and my two sons.
It is always a wee bit of a gang feeling when we hang out and it is always interesting seeing them grow up into tweenys and the change that comes with it.

Also the understanding of their generation which is paramount for the child to parent relationship. Too often parents try and make their kids be like they were back in 19oatcake and it simply ends in rebellion and silver paper and syringe or bottles of homebrew...
We've been out hitting some loops on the basket court which always ends in somebody throwing a tantrum and it all ends up in a mess..c'est la vie. I of course try every coaching trick in the book but it doesn't work so easy on your own kids...."Visst pappa, säkert..typ"
The biggest laugh of the day was their description of the south park edition where they tried to get an elephant and a pig to mate. After several minutes and nothing happening the kids start boozing up the animals and Chef sings one of his love songs which gets the pig and elephant going at it...sounds like the Aveyn at closing time...getting this from a 9 and 11 year old is priceless..
then I got an entire rendition of dirty sanchez, jackass and Viva la bam. yep, the mtv generation indeed and not forgetting an entire books worth of "ya mamma sucks cos'..".
A cold chill ran through the veins when I mentioned the fact that they shouldn't try and staple something through their testicles and they mentioned they had done their own version of Dirty sanchez...I didn't ask anymore...

Weird thing that they have gone through, they have already had girlfriends a week at a time but then they went through the "we can't stand them they're from Venus" ideology and now I can see they actually take a second stare at the lassies...Strange that things go full circle even up to adulthood as I reckon they're from Venus as well..

Well its gonna be a tough day tomorrow as once again i return to base camp and leave my summit behind but that's my call and they understand. Today I negotiated the possibilities of a trip far away to another galaxy with them and they nodded and said no problem as long as it wasn't a country with reptiles and snakes or dangerous animals...and they watch MTV???

So all in all an undramatic Easter break but filled with "da Boyz". I got some masi and a book as a present as well which will help when I once again return to an empty flat. Books have become a rather important filler of the void just now which is pleasant in one way but detrimental in another. Obviously the social competence which has already been attacked is at an old time low. That's the way the bow breaks I suppose.All I need now is to ensure the musical instrument comes into the scene and goodbye cruel world.

Anyway, som sagt, c'est la vie. Now to start looking at countries without dangerous animals and for once perhaps at looking at finally starting a chapter which doesn't require so much "intensity" but wherein one can simply lay back and get on.
Sometimes life is indeed a "beach" and I'm not on it!..pass me the sunblock and move over!

Best letter of the month read in SOLO(Nr 8 August 06 sida 16), a girlies magazine reads:
Vad är en anal plugg?
Fråga: jag har hört talas om analpluggar och undrar vilken funktion de fyller.Är de värda att testa?
Mimmi 28år (?)

!!!!funktion de fyller!!!!???????????


see ya on the beach,

áyé

NB: since this was published I mentioned this at work and several people didn't actually know what an anal plugg was or what function its required for...
