son was grumbling and asking whyyyyyy he needs to go to his school chess club this morning and got the answer that it's because he has friends there and he enjoys it when he goes and activities are good for you
him: has that been scientifically proven >:| that activities are good for you >:|
me: yes.
him: ....really?
me: yes.
him: FINE I'LL GO >:|
i'm so glad i didn't have to pull out actual citations about activities. i mean i'm pretty sure it's true but i would have a hard time pulling out the peer-approved published articles
(for the record, because tumblr worries about things like this, when he reallyreallyreally doesn't want to go do things, we do not force him, and in fact he asked to do chess club and he does have friends there and he does enjoy it when he goes)
