I was sitting in bed the other morning, watching Pokemon with Jacob and Kyle before school... just like we do every morning. Only, this time, I wasn't really paying that much atention; as I had my head buried in the book "Fifty Shades of Grey".
Apparently, there was some commercial or something on, and in it, there must have been some reference to girls and how they get in a boys way. Suddenly my NOW 12 year old (it scares me to believe he is really that age) Jacob says outloud:
"Yep, that is why I am going to build myself a MAN CAVE".
He caught my attention. I set my book in mmy lap and look strangely at him...
"Excuse me?" I question, "You are only 12 years old. How in the WORLD do you even know what a MAN CAVE is?"
He looks at me and laughs.
"A man cave is a place where us men can get away from WOMEN!" he says with confidence and his little "Jacob flare" as I like to call it.
That boy has always made me laugh. I can't help but laugh this time.
He looks over at Kyle and says to him, "Yep, and only me, Alex and Scott are allowed."
Kyle, a bit offended, looks at him and says, "What about me?"
Jacob laughs again, and says "Ha! You are only a boy - only Men will be allowed".
Crazy.
12 years old and he has it all figured out!
