The minds of middle schoolers.
In the car on the way to golf lessons. Bryce (5th grader) says to Will (3rd Grader):
"Hey Will, wanna hear a story about the birds and the bees?"
Bryce doesn't wait for Will to respond. "The birds ate the bees, end of story." Cue peels of laughter from Bryce.

Patrick, 7th Grade says to me: "Hey Ma, I forgot to tell you we dissected a frog last week at school."
Me, trying to make sure and sound blasé, considering Patrick middle name is Squeamish. "Interesting Patrick, how did it go?"
Patrick responding with great enthusiasm, "It was gross and super cool at the same time."

"You know people judge other people on what they wear, like people get picked on cause they aren't wearing what's in and who cares what people wear. It's stupid, that's like bullying." Patrick said.
Bryce then chimes in "As the great author Dr. Suess said: 'Why fit in, when you can stand out.'

Surprisingly, Anna was in the car but didn't contribute to these conversations, she must have been asleep.
To end today's insight into the Middle School Boy, here is Bryce with his Face Mug. Thanks to an endowment all the Art Students at Hayesville Middle and High School were able to make and take these fun mugs. The artist behind the mugs is Rob Withrow if you click the link you'll be taken to his website. Fun Stuff! He does Face Mug Parties, so it's like a Tastefully Simple party but you make your own mug!
