Parenting payoff
My son (13) is a man of few words.
He's a quiet kid. Funny when he speaks, but doesn't have a lot to say most of the time. Well, not to adults anyway  We've always been close, but as he gets older he tends to keep to himself more and more. Thats why this just kinda rocks A few weeks ago I took him down to a pretty big ATV park (outback) 2.5 hrs away. It was his first adventure on his new dirtbike I got him for Christmas. It was a LONG day and I didn't think he really had a blast, because stupid me locked the keys in the trailer and had to spend an hour running to town to have the lock cut off  and we ended up getting my buddy Will lunch while we were out, only to come back and find that he brought it and didn't need it ....plus my son got stuck a few times, but it wasn't a big deal (to me).SO when my mom sends me this rough draft today where he had to write a poem about someone he appreciated (wrote it on her PC after school...she then sent it to me) it melted me.

WTF you raised an EMO kid.
Good shit though, dirtbikes are a necessity for a proper young man.

He can get an "F" and I'll be happy!
Of course I won't go all Kaneman on the school either
