My kids...
Don't you just want to protect your children forever?  Tonight Jason had a dose of reality.  He went to a birthday party.  He thought he lost one of his video games and was searching the house looking for it.  When he went upstairs to look for it, one of the boys said, "okay let's take a vote, who thinking Jason is a baby and who thinks he is just gay."  All the boys laughed.  Dylan (his older brother)  over heard.  He told Jason what they said and then called us to pick them up.  Dylan said, "nobody treats my brother like that."  Jason was so upset, he was crying.  He couldn't figure out why the kids would treat him that way.  I listed his friends and asked him if any of them would treat him that way, and he said "none of my friends would ever do that to me."  I told him the only people you can ever count on in life are your friends and the rest are a crap shoot.  But he really doesn't get it...he keeps saying, "I would never treat ANYONE  like that." 

My boys are typical brothers.  They don't always get along.  Jason is forever complaining that he HATES being the youngest!

When we got the boys home, Dylan turned to Jason and said, "I'm sorry about what happened to you tonight, and if you need anything just tell me"  I was in tears.  Jason told me, that for the first time in his life, he was glad he was the youngest because he knew he would always have Dylan to protect him. *deep sigh*
