Exactly!

Yesterday, my 13 year old son said something that resembled that of a grown mature adult. 

"Mom, I can't wait until I am a Dad, so I can understand why you and Dad do the things you do." 

Um, hello!  Now that is some thinking!  :)  

I dug a little deeper and asked why.  Mostly it comes down to that we do and say things that seem like they shouldn't be a big deal, and he just would like to have a better understanding of why.  He felt like if he had kids he would understand it better. 

Sometimes we wonder if they will ever get it.  This to me was a hint that he is looking forward to one day "getting it". 

It made me smile.  Love him!
