Who is this guy???

And what has he done with my oldest son???

John, Jr. has come back home for the summer. He has a job as the manager/swim coach at our neighborhood pool.  Daniel and John have always shared a room. Both of them have never minded being together. Well, when John got home one of the first things he said was, "I can't stay in Daniel's room." I asked why, expecting to be told that Daniel snores,(which he does), talks in his sleep (which he does), or something about the bed being too small(which it is). But, nooo, what he said next absolutely floored me; "The room is a mess. Daniel is a slob."  Wow! This coming from the kid that, when he lived at home,  I had to  make clean his room before he could do anything fun. This would be just in the nick of time before the health department could issue condemnment notices for filth! Seriously?? Who are you? Where is John?

It seems that they really do grow up and act in strangely grown up ways. For now, he is sleeping on the pull out couch (it has a queen sleeper), in the bonus room.  And yes, he has kept the area neat. Utterly amazing!

John is also having to adjust to life with a toddler and a preschooler in the house. He's not used to being awakened early in the morning, or the hearing the ear piercing crying that inevitably happens from time to time. He's going to be ok, once he gets over the culture shock, and of course, he only has to suffer until August! (My prediction is that when it's time to go home, he's going to miss the life here. We'll see if I'm correct? Time will tell)
