Middle Boy's friend, Z, is spending the night. He is the son of a family from church, a former foster kid, and now has permanency.
When the two of them are together behavior reverts to seven year-olds.
We had to run some errands. (What was I thinking?) They were both REALLY irritated with me after they raced through a parking lot to the car and I made them go all the way back to the store and redo it. I wouldn't unlock the doors until it happened. They were STEAMING.
For the most part they did pretty well. There was a lot of "one upsmanship" of foster care stories. Lots of "well this is what happened to me".
They were respectful (for teens) and picked up after themselves (they were threatened).
I don't mind having him here. Generally speaking he is a nice kid.
