Big Boys

Ben was welcomed outside into the neighborhood club of "big kids" a few nights ago...these 5 and up boys have cool toys he has never seen the likes of like "air rockets, pokemon cards and hexbugs" they patiently showed him their toys, let him have turns, explained in great detail the health numbers on the pokemon cards while he nodded obediently in interest. They played Tag up the sidewalk and showed him the Harley in the garage across the house from us. When he ooohed and ahhhhed in enough amazement the Mother plopped him on the seat to test it out and Jack (8) gave him a motorcycle toy that he doesn't play with anymore. Nathan (5)gave him a dandelion when it was time to wonder back to our driveway which he clutched to his chest until we got home and he wrapped it in suran wrap and tucked in the pages of a book beside his bed. 5 year old boys, it would seem are the equivalent to superhero's to 3 year old boys. We can skip Disney now because it wouldn't even come close.
