If we are to believe television and fictional stories, you would probably be scared to death to invite some surly teenage boy into your home. The audible eye rolls, snarky comments, and the inability to set down their cell phones are supposed to be the defining characteristics of this age.
Don't believe a word of it!
Yes, there will be days when the stereotypes will ring true. Quite a few of them, truth be told (those stereotypes have to have some basis in fact, after all). But what you don't hear is just how USEFUL these adults-in-training can be!
During his summer vacations, Wonder Boy is largely responsible for laundry for the whole family. He's always helping out in the kitchen. I'm not sure I could wash the dogs without him - we have a great system worked out and can get both dogs in and out of the bathroom like clockwork! And quite honestly, he does a really great job of keeping the bathrooms clean. He's a handy young guy and we are thankful for his assistance.
As you can see, Wonder Boy has always been willing to lend a helping hand around the house. We could give him a Clorox wipe and turn him loose in the bathroom and kitchen alike!
Honestly, at this age he had not yet honed his skills, but his willing heart was always appreciated!
