B just turned 13 the other day, and what a change. He's decided he's going to be more mature, and he's totally sticking to it! It's only been two days, but I'm cautiously optimistic.

I've been giving him some advice and I thought I would spread it around a bit, since apparently it is working for him.

B: I feel like I looked really good today, with my baseball cap on kind of sideways and wearing my pink floyd t-shirt. I'll bet I attracted some girls.

me: well, you can't always tell what will attract girls. Remember, the way to be friends with girls is always to listen to what they say, and always to be nice to them. And every once in a rare while you can tell a girl that she looks like she's lost weight. That always, always gets them, I don't care how tough they are. But you can only say it to one girl, so choose her carefully.

B: I said that to H the other day. (aside: H's the cutest girl in 7th grade).

me: What did she say?

B: She said, "why, thank you."

me: what did I tell you? Works every time.
