Yes, but this friend who has Tourette’s has been special to our family and it may not be that easy to let him go. I can remember feeling protective towards this boy the first time he sat at our kitchen countertop sipping a glass of orange juice. He looked cute in his preppy clothes and wore a rope bracelet. He told us that when kids stare at him and ask What are you doing he just stares back and asks them, What are you doing and explains that he has this condition called Tourette's.

If my son were sitting in your kitchen sipping orange juice I doubt he would be as likable. He might seem shy, moody or too quiet.

"It’s funny when someone’s pants fall down. There’s nothing wrong with kids laughing at something funny. They weren’t rude, they were human."

Yep, and my sister told me, "You have to admit those Spiderman briefs would be funny to a bunch of 8-year-old boys. They probably outgrew cartoon briefs last year (when they were in Second grade)." Is third grade usually considered the bridge from little boy to older boy?
