Got out of the house tonight for a couple of hours with Neil. In my job description it states something about taking Neil out once every two weeks, just the two of us. Tonight we went to the Star Cinema Grill to eat and watch a movie. He chose The Tooth Fairy. Surprisingly enough it was actually pretty funny. People seem surprised that Dwayne Johnson can act...but isn't that what the WWE is? Acting?
Neil is eight. He never stops talking. His imagination runs full speed at all times. I have a hard time locking my attention in on him especially with two toddlers running around tipping chairs and pushing lamps off the end tables. I can rarely follow and keep up with his conversation so I'm trying to learn how to time my head nods and "mm hmm's" just right. He's smart, very smart for an eight year old. Makes me curious to know who he'll be in ten years.
Oh, and he LOVES 80s music, just like his dad. Driving home tonight I was scanning through radio stations and just happened to land on an 80s rock station. Some Metallica song came on and Neil literally screamed, "TURN IT UP, THIS SONG TOTALLY ROCKS!" He was head banging with his fists in the air the entire time. Neil says we got lucky because we hit the station right at the VERY BEGINNING of the song. I was almost as thrilled as he was. (Insert sarcasm and eye-rolling as you see fit)
Note: 80s music makes me cringe. :)
