Twat waffle is one of my favorite insults. I have been hearing that so many kids are just unable to function. It's a bit shocking because my kids and their friends are, for the most part, doing pretty well in spite of the existential, ecological, political, social, and economic crises they are facing.
That's so awesome your boy is able to entertain himself. My girls have been pretty self entertaining, but both my boys are super social and pretty constantly wanting to go places and do things. They got a lot more opportunity for the value of boredom.
And thanks! I'm so super proud of my kids. They are all really amazing people.
