Mother and Son Bonding

My 12 year old son and I spent the weekend playing Paper Mario on our Nintendo Wii. That’d be the Wii that I slept outside Circuit City to buy for him for Christmas. So now it was all worth it. We love Mario, so it’s a win win situation. We take turns at different chapters, we battle evil monsters, we conquer chapters together, it’s so much fun.

Anyway, if you have kids going in to their teens or in their teens, I recommend, even for a day or an hour or a minute…find your inner kid and communicate somehow on neutral grounds, even if you’re not really talking, just do something you both have in common. Oh and once you find that inner kid, don’t lose it.
