frustratedpilotHey.
I'm trying to talk my parents into taking my nephew to the zoo. I mean, the kid likes animals, and the zoo's not far away and it's cheaper than many of the other touristy things to do in this area.
"He's bored," I tell them.
"He seems to be happy," they tell me back.
"He's doing a lot of the same things I used to do when I was bored at his age."
"Are you bored now?" they ask me.
I didn't really want to honestly share my exact feelings. But no, I'm not bored. I just want nephew to go back to his Mommy and tell him something better about his visit than "I ate good" or "I saw a lot of movies."
