Yesterday I was impressed, thankful and in awe. Let's begin:
Tyler-Tyler had a friend (Jack) over. As I was driving Jack home Tyler asked Jack what he got on the English assessment at school. Jack says proudly, "900, although a few kids in my class got 1000". Tyler says, "Cool."
After Jack gets out I ask Tyler what HE got. "1300". The goal for 7th graders was 850. So not only is my Tyler a smarty farty, he doesn't rub it in his friends faces, even though the natural course in a conversation like this is to say what your score is as well.
Love.
The next story is a little more scary. And doesn't end like I wanted it to. (They don't catch the guy.) But it still makes me proud.
Nate-Last night Nate was driving home through Provo from Valoy's house. As he was turning left, he sees a huge "Thug" on the side of the road hunker down and slam his shoulder into a smaller guy and right in front of Nates jeep. Nate has to swerve to not hit the guy. Nate thinks it's two guys being idiots, but about a block later Nate wonders if the "smaller guy" was a girl, and he turns back. In his headlights he sees the Thug CHOKING the smaller one. And yes, it is a girl. (About college age.) He pulls up at the same time another car pulls up and they both flick their emergency lights on. Thug starts running towards Guy in Car and Nate drives and cuts him off. Thug grabs Girl and starts running. They split in different directions, and Nate follows Girl, can't find her, and returns to see Thug trying to get into Car Guy's car. Again Nate speeds toward him and screeches his Jeep inches away from Thug to cut him off.
Long story medium-short, the cops come too late, Thug gets away, I pray and hurt for Girl, Nate says he and Car Guy would have beat Thug up if they caught him, and I worry about guns and knives, although I agree with Nate he should always step in whenever he sees this. He was so angry last night that jerks like this are around.
