We've noticed that Tyler has become more reserved since the big rejection at Sea World. He seems to not walk up to kids and start up friendships like he used to. I think something really stuck with him when that happened with those girls. He also recently told me that some girls are nice and some are mean.
Well, I think he's getting his groove back. He ain't afraid to get back on that horse, it seems. Brian picked him up from Sunday school this morning and asked if he had fun. To which he replied, "Yes." Brian asked what he did in class and he said, "I hugged the girl in the purple dress two times." When Brian asked why, he said, "Pee-cause she was nice."
Mmhmm...
After we got home, Tyler walked around with some binoculars held up to his eyes. When Brian asked what he was looking for, he replied, "the girl in the purple dress."
We're going to have to find this little girl in the purple dress and thank her for restoring Tyler's self confidence and faith in women. He hadn't been the same since he was wounded by those krool girls. This could be a great lesson in forgiveness and restoration. Sort of like Joseph's story in the Bible. I like a good teachable moment.
Then again, it's occured to me that we may also need to teach Tyler a different Bible story.
Samson was also a floppy haired boy who fell in love with a woman...whom he loved to hug...who turned out to be his downfall...

Tha's my dawg! What are the two sexiest animals on the farm?
*Long pause*
Brown chicken, brown cow.
(Say it fast; it helps to figure out that it really means "Bow chicka bow wow!"
Good thing maybe if he's dettered to woman for a while. He doesn't need to deal with our neurocies for a good century or two. He's probably better off.
