Innocence

Today I took the "big kids" to the pool in Junction City.  We've started calling Nalen and Neela the "big kids" since it just seems like they are so much older than Nasha---which I guess they are.  Um, anyway---I took the big kids to the pool and we were having a good time (aside from Nalen's frequent crying bouts---he seems to be afraid of everything these days...)...Nalen had to pee, so I sent him into the bathroom, while keeping a watchful eye...which is another blog in itself---when really is the correct age to send him into the bathroom by himself?  I'm always afraid there's going to be a child molester in there or something---okay, so he came back from the bathroom and explained to me in detail about how he had trouble working the faucet but that another boy helped him.  I told him that was good...he said, "well, yeah, it was good, but he used bad words..."  He proceeded to tell me that he used the "S" word and the "H" word.  My mind was imagining...until Nalen said, "Yeah, Mom, he said "Stupid" and "Heck."  I said, Oh boy, well, that's too bad...but secretly I was so amused.  I love it how innocent he really is.  He's such a sweet boy.
