Things No One Told Us 12+ Years and Eight Sons Ago 

(before allowing us to leave the hospital with 2 day old infants)

1. A son could break his arm playing putt-putt.
2. You will sit in the tiny chair across from the teacher at parent-teacher conferences.
3. A son could incur a bloody injury to his most private of parts playing basketball.
4. You will be required to apply ice and antibiotic cream to the aforementioned son’s most private of parts.
5. Anything can and will be used as a weapon for frequent and impromptu battles.
6. They will be babies for a very, very short time.
7. A son might attempt to juggle glass.  And need stitches afterwards.
8. You will visit the pediatrician for the removal of an imbedded tick from a son’s most private of parts.
9. Brothers will fight fierce battles, drive you and each other crazy, then zealously defend each other.
10. You might never feel like a fully-qualified, grown-up parent.
