Rolls With It

So the neighbor boys tend to be a little mean at times.  Not the beat you up kind, just the words kind.  So I'm outside checking on something and one of them tells the little man they don't want to play with him and go away.  Well the little man just stops and then inches toward them a bit at a time.  Like a cat on the hunt.  Too funny.  The neighbor boy was about to say more when he realized I was there.  And then his mom must have realized something was up because she came outside also.  So we just did our own thing and the little man made his way to playing with the group.  The little woman ended up joining the group.
So when it was time to come in and go to bed I asked him about it.  He said they let him play a little bit, but that they were still mean.  And then he said that was okay......he got what he needed.  He just rolls with it and doesn't let some stuff bother him.  He can be like a duck.  As long as it is not his sissy.
