Earlier this week, when we dropped the boys off at school, the nurse asked me to stop in before leaving. I figured it was to ask about flu shots or something of that ilk - but it was about Alex. Apparently Alex, who has been complaining of itchy eyes lately, was brought down by his kindergarten teacher so the nurse could see if there was something irritating his eye.
The nurse checked his eyes and found nothing of concern and so asked "Alex, do you have any allergies?" She told me he looked up at her with this little smile on his face and said "Well, I'm allergic to my brother."
"Oh dear" she replied "that's too bad, especially as you will be with him for quite some time."
"Until I'm 18" said Alex.
"Or maybe even longer" she added.
At which point, Jack walked by the office with his class and Alex shouted out "Hey Jack! See you later!"
It's that brotherly love/hate thing I guess. Don't we always love some of the things that irritate us?
Stories from the trenches of raising two boys - Jack (7) and Alex (5). Both boys love life, talking about body parts and functions, explosions, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, various superheros . . . the list goes on forever.
