Exposure

I've always believed that it is my duty as a parent to expose The Boy to as many activities as possible. I want him to know what's out there, whether it be sports, areas of study, or extra-curricular activities.

MFH would insist that's why he only wanted one child. "I want him to have every opportunity," he would say.

And, idle hands are the devil's workshop.

I can honestly that I've never met a young adult, male or female, that stayed busy in and out of school and fell into that world of drugs that scares the sh&* out of me.

This has been a week of opportunity.

We had the motocross. The next night MFH took The Boy to an extreme riding exhibition. There were 4 wheelers, snowmobiles, and motorcycles whose riders would flip in the air and do tricks while on the machines. I must admit I breathed a sigh of relief that he doesn't really want to do that - now, anyway. But as least he knows it's out there. On Sunday we are going to the drag races.

Last night was professional bull riding, which we did not attend.

As a mom, you gotta draw the line somewhere!
