Right now Jack is in a group working on a project about the early colonies. He is a little frustrated. First the group consisted of him and 4 girls. He's not old enough to appreciate the potential of that situation. The teacher added another boy, Andrew, to the group so Jack wasn't completely overrun by the females.
The group has to come up with a song for their colonies (they have the middle colonies in case you were wondering). I don't quite understand why they need a song, but I'm just a mother. What do I know...
There is some serious in-group conflict right now. The girls can't decide which song best represents their colonies: "It's a Small World"? "New World"? A Taylor Swift song? The Doo-Dah song (Jack's title. I have no idea)?
I naively asked, "What do you and Andrew want as a song?"
"Mom," Jack sighed. "We are boys. We get no say. It's just not natural for the boys to make the decisions..."
The female/wife part of me says he'll have a successful marriage... The mother part of me thinks he might need a male teacher soon...
