'Potential'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
mac is at junior high. everyone pray for everyone.
FWIW, I have heard the theory often that the earlier a person rebels the least destructive. As in better to get it out early because those that rebel late, like after college or worse yet in their 40s really do it up big time. So my theory is that mac got it out of his system early and junior high, high school and beyond will be easier.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
(Junior fucking high!!)
this is what I am saying!
Also - he CARES ABOUT HOW HE LOOKS NOW. like, almost overnight. he spent time matching things this morning AND fixing his hair. HE NEVER FIXES HIS HAIR. (his jacket that matched last years' shoes perfectly completely clashed with his outfit this morning - he is in need of a new jacket).

I like to think I'm doing it late, long, and slow.
Otherwise I haven't done it at all.
But my poor mother. She just wants a hetero-romantic kid who respects the gender binary. And who passes up the odd argument.
Meh, I did my time as a rebel in college. It took the form of Midnight Lilac Raids wherein I and my roommate would wander through town snipping one or two sprigs of blossoms off each lilac hedge lining the alleys we were walking past. Without. Asking. Permission.
Of course many of our fellow college rebels were rebelling with drugs and booze, so you may have a point.
he CARES ABOUT HOW HE LOOKS NOW
is there a love interest around...?
I rebelled in college, then moved cross country. I suppose that's a kind of rebellion.

You're the mother of a tween now. Good luck msbelle!
I have scheduled two doctor visits and am now ready to go teach. I am on fire! Or at least I'm not falling flat on my face -- YET!
Thanks, Andi.
Also, good luck to Mac. Remember, every year, dozens of tweens survive middle school.
There is no girl interest yet, just general fit-in interest.

Aw! That's exciting.
