2. My 10 year old grandson's new friend and classmate has two daddies.

Jan 2013

And he was adopted at age 5.
This couple also adopted his younger brother.
I haven't met the dads (or the boy) yet, but I hope to on my next trip to daughter's family in Boston.

Kinda funny story:
The kid may be a bit slow.
According to grandson, his dads told him if he could get all 'Cs' on his report card (evidently a step up for him) they'd let him have an iPhone.
Most of his peers have one.


My grandson is an exceptionally bright kid.
(Chip off the old block )
Bs are a step down for him.

When the grading period's results came out and the friend had achieved all Cs he was manic!
"I GOT ALL Cs, I GOT ALL Cs! I GET AN iPHONE!!!

Grandson thought it was funny, and by his parents' expectations it is.
But I'm proud that this doesn't interfere with their friendship.
