Worst mom of the year is....Cherie! Yep, I've done it again. Crushed the dreams of a 9 year old boy. Just as you'd expect from Sean he came up with the idea of digging out a shelter of some kind in our backyard. He drew up plans and though I am still not sure what his intentions for the shelter were, I know he needed a computer and "supplies".
After school I gave him the exciting news that he could take on the project and showed him the shovels. Apparently I wasn't the most encouraging of his efforts because he told me "I don't care how much you mock me, I'm not giving up!".

I sulked away and left him to digging. It took about an hour before he stopped. He got about 6 inches down and a few feet across. Did he quit because he is a quitter? No, he quit because the blisters on his hand were bleeding.
I wish I had his determination.

Tell Sean he needs to hire my gophers. They never give up and they build strong tunnels.
