The boys asked if a friend could stay over tonight. I agreed, and then went over to Len's to watch a movie with him and Amy. Before the movie started, Kyle called for a ride home (school dance - I told him to call me if he needed a ride). Dropping Kyle off, I met up with Sam going into the house with about six other guys. Big teenaged guys with baggy clothes and piercings and long hair and no hair and weird-colored hair. I went into the house and everyone was sitting around laughing and gaming on the X-box. I handed off a bag of snacks ("ooh, cookies!" one tough-guy chirped), sternly told the boys to call me if *anything* happened, and headed off to Len's for the movie.

I got back about 2 1/2 hours later to find five boys clustered around the table playing D&D, eating doritos and chips ahoy and drinking that nasty red Mountain Dew. Carl was being killed by a dragon. Sam was explaining THAC0 to a guy with really long hair. They had put Luke in charge of making the maps.

Man, I love my life.
