Younger Boy walked home from school after football practice today.  It is just over a mile.  If you ask him it is around FIVE miles.  I imagine it to be uphill both ways and I think there might have been snow involved.  Not positive though.

He was telling me about the walk and it caused me to wonder what on earth adults are thinking.

He told me someone threw trash at him and someone else yelled "what are you a slow ho?"

Really?  He is a kid walking home from school.

Now...justifiably I am considering my source.  It could have been a ploy to keep from walking home from school.  However this is the kid who has been BEGGING to do just that...until he actually did.

Prayers for safe walks.  He only does it on days when he has football (no bus) AND I have to work late (RARE).
