Several things impressed me about this preparation....
1. He cleaned up his mess, putting all of the waffle ingredients away and wiping down the island.
2. He set out plates and forks.
3. He had the forethought to place a knife on top of the peanut butter jar to facilitate spreading.
4. He stacked the waffles so very neatly.
5. He set out not only the old bottle of syrup, but a new one as well, knowing that the giggling girls would surely run out.
13-year-old boy, you impress me!
And now, that you might know the heart of the 18-year-old boy. His facebook status on the day of the sleepover...
"11 girls under 13 years old... somebody save me."
Thanks for listening.

ReplyDeleteLove It! I am inpressed with him...WOW SO COOL! Those girls were lucky. It is awesome that he could do all that by himself you are such a good example.
ReplyDeleteI saw your 18 year olds facebook status and thought it was funny.
that is AWESOME. i am bursting my buttons for you. i have known my share of 13 yr old boys and no matter how sweet they are, i dont think any of them would have went to that trouble. looks like you are raising a good man. we need more of those in the world.
ReplyDeletealso-the next time you want to kill him, remember this random act of kindness. the life you save might be your son's. :)
I am so impressed! What a sweetheart your 13 year old boy is. Some young lady us going to be very lucky someday.
ReplyDeleteI'm very impressed, what a precious boy!
ReplyDeleteThat has to be one of the sweetest things I've read in a while:) To think he got up in the wee hours and did this....one of these days he'll be a great father and husband.
ReplyDeleteThat is really cool. Not many would think about doing that!
ReplyDeleteYour son is so sweet and thoughtful! Not to many teenage boys would do that for their sister and her friends. You are raising some very loving boys. Even though the 18yrold's had a different thoughts to the night, haha.
ReplyDeleteOkay, so now I'm getting off of here to go fix myself a waffle .... I was trying to decide what I wanted ... yes, I can be influenced by pictures sometimes, espically when it comes to food o;-p
ReplyDeleteThe thirteen year old boy won double bonus points - one for preparing EVERYthing, the second for leaving no mess behind :-D Go him!!!
As for the eighteen year old boys facebook status quote - A- typical, and yet, actually nicer than some I've seen.
Remember, the thirteen year old boy is only becoming rather interested in girls. The eighteen year old boy IS interested in girls, But his taste in girls (thankfully) do not include fourteen year old ones full of giggles and coy glances his direction.
Cheryl, about the 18-year-old boy, yes, thankfully!
ReplyDeleteThat was so sweet of him! Don't you just love it when our kids do something so simple but amazing?
