To Play vs. To Hang Out

It is happening....my boy is turning into a "tween/teenager", or something of the sort.

Do you remember when you got to the stage in life when you would call a friend and not no whether to ask them if they could "play" or "hang out"?

"Playing" just seemed so immature.....but "hanging out" was an unknown phrase.

Well, Kason's conversation on the phone yesterday went like this:

"Hey (insert friend's name), can you plaa......I mean hang out.......uh, can you come over?"

I remember this transition phase in my life, and I am sad that my sweet little boy is starting to lose a little of his childlike innocence.

Oh, how I am not ready for the teenage years!

EEEK...not Kason! Just make sure that when he is 16 and can ask girls out...please make him actually ask them out on a date. Don't let him just ask, "Do you want to hang out." Like all of the boys these days do. But, let's not think about that yet.
