"He's going to be around a bunch of different kids coming in that he doesn't know and I don't know how well they'll (get along)." Billy said he is excited about joining the basketball team since Mom said no to football. Becky plans to try out for volleyball and is considering drama club. Choosing the path for their lives is what middle school is all about. "I used to tell my boys, Tvfow we talked about this and you said you weren't going to grow up on Sharon Schewe said.
