When the "kids" come home for the holidays

My favorite part of having ds2 home is that all his HS friends come around. I call them my other sons. In fact, a funny story from this past December …

One of ds2’s bffs went to the first UT playoff game with another former classmate and texted me a pic of them in the stands. I thought that was so sweet for him to think of me. Later that day, I texted ds2 to ask how he liked the picture of his friends, and he said, “What are you talking about?” I told him, you know, the pic of M and R at the game. He was perplexed and told me to send it to him (I think he thought I’d lost my mind). So I did, and he calls me and says, “Wait, so M sent this to YOU? He didn’t even send it to the fantasy football group text!” So then ds did and outed him to the group. I apologized to M for giving him up, and he said, “You’re the biggest UT fan I know so I thought you’d appreciate it more than anyone else.” Isn’t that sweet?
