Rex has recently taken up writing in a journal which he calls a diary because of the "Dude not a diary" starter journals I gave both to the boys; however, I'm trying to get him to call it a journal because that sounds more masculine, I guess? Anyway, Scott and I heard the boys talking in their room when they should have been falling asleep. We really started listening when we heard Rex get worked up and this is what followed:
Rex: Joseph makes fun of kids who have diaries and if Joseph's not my friend anymore I'll only have one friend left!!
Felix: Listen, I'm going to give you some really good advice. What you have to do is act really cool and then you'll have lots of friends.
Rex: I already have a plan. I'm just going to kick him in the butt at recess.
Felix: Actually, that's a really bad plan.
Rex: I have a back up plan.
Felix: What is it? Shoot him all over with a dart gun?
Rex: No, just keep kicking him in the butt all of recess until he plays with me.
