Judah’s World

These are how things work in his world: He is a cowboy He has a friend named Tricky (a girl) who he really likes playing with but she has been “texting” him all the time and he’s starting to get tired of it He has a lot of homework and always wants to know how many more minutes he has left of reading He already knows how to write all of his letters and numbers He goes to a school where kids pee their pants everyday Every shirt that buttons up in the front and has a collar is a cowboy shirt. Everyday should be Halloween He has so many things to do sometimes, he just “doesn’t think he can handle it” He has many girlfriends He dreams of monsters before he has actually gone to sleep
Sometimes I think this world sounds fun and exciting and other times I’m pretty relieved that it is only in his little mind. When we were getting out of the car yesterday and he was gathering up all of his “accessories”,  as we like to refer to them (cowboy hat, belt, holster, guns, bandana…etc.) he lets out a big sigh and says, “I’m guessing you’re making me carry all this stuff without any help” He’s a smart one, that kid.
