One of the best (and sometimes worst) parts of a family vacation is getting to hang with the kids. I try to spend time with them normally, but on vacation its "time" to the umpteeth degree...
I love learning new things about them. What they like - what they don't - It's just a fun part of parenting. But every now and again you get a real surprise. Like tonight.
The boys and I went to watch the Incredible Hulk. (It was actually much better than I expected too!) Mid way through the movie, my 10 year old, Caleb, and I were discussing the plot. I was certain the movie was about to do one thing, he was suggesting it would go another way. I have watched a million movies. I'm sort of a movie buff, and he's ten, right? But he nailed it...
Its actually the second time he's done that. The first was in the middle of sixth sense. He guessed the plot twist. Literally, in the middle of the movie he leans over and says, "Is that guy dead?"
I think Caleb may be some kind of movie savant... Funny huh?
