I was so sad to see Scout dropped off from a few hours with Seth and Cade…and suspiciously he had a fat lip and swollen eyes. I asked him if something bad had happened, and his eyes welled up with tears, and he got into his first fight that went a bit physical. There wasn’t a punch involved, but in the mix of a bunch of aggressive wrestling between Seth and Scout, his lip had been hit pretty hard. I asked what it was over, and Seth was protective over a neighbor Brennan, who Seth thought Scout was being a punk to. Based on Cade and Lexi’s report…Scout wasn’t in the wrong, and Seth misinterpreted things. Regardless, I asked Scout if he could have done anything differently, and he said “no”. (HAHA)
The saddest part wasn’t the fat lip…but Scout’s feelings that had been crushed by his buddy. He was so sad. But I loved him for a bit, and told him about something called testosterone. I told him Seth is getting it, and he is soon to get it. But it is all a matter of controlling it….so stupid things like these don’t happen. He kind of understood, and when Micah came on the scene and he heard what went down, he said, “Sounds like a case of a boy who is getting his testosterone!”
Scout headed to the pool to cool off for a few minutes, and came back in better spirits. And the best news of all…when Scout and Seth were old chums again just a few hours later!
