Well, Well, Well

Thing One told me this evening that he is running for Homeroom Rep, which is apparently something Student Council related.  (Now that he's in middle school there are a whole slew of new things I have to figure out.)  I have nothing against Student Council, but I would have thought hell itself would freeze over before he got involved with it...to this point, he has always been friends with pretty much everybody but not a leader or even a joiner for the most part.  I gather that his friends were encouraging him to run and nominated him, which again is not in keeping with what I would have said was the group dynamic, but what do I know.  He has all the raw material he needs to lead...will be interesting to see if this motivates him to start tapping into it.  My little boy is growing up.  *sniff*
