My twelve year old son has grown so much in the past two months that he resembles "Marmaduke"
... bigger body and longer limbs than he can control, huge paws gone out of control, more clumsy than his brain can keep up with, breaks everything he wants to touch, stumbles over more words/per/minute than most people can even comprehend, tongue hangs well past his chin at the sight of a female, never, ever, ever stops chattering ... etc.
It is his birthday, soon and I bought him a bunch of books
