Tonight the football thing got even more bizarre. I've been making plans for S7 to enter Cub Scouts this Spring. W tried to tell me tonight that S7 had decided he'd rather do the local flag football program instead of Scouts.
Surprised, I paused after she said this, then I related to her what S7 had said to me just the day before. S7 had lamented skipping soccer this past season, and that was when I began to query him on what he was really interested in doing this year -- either a sport like soccer or football, or karate, or maybe something like scouts. I told him we were already doing the Lego user group, and he could choose another activity. In the end he said he wanted to try Cub Scouts this year, mainly because he's still interested in going camping.
W was a bit taken back. I started to ask her whether S7 had changed his mind for some reason, and if so what brought that about, but W backed down immediately and said okay. I got the curious impression she was not pushing what she claimed S7 said because maybe it wasn't quite so.
This is twice now W's mentioned S7 and football. She has started looking into this without consulting me first, and that is a problem, especially since she is proposing a pastime for S7 that is going to involve some of my weekend custody.
If I were a betting man I'd lay odds OM is part of this.
