Did I say I’m just a Boy?

“Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary” ~John Keating

We both have sons. They are different than daughters. We both have daughters. They move differently. They make sounds from their mouths that can be shocking or make you turn to see if an airplane is landing in your living room or a car is parking in your kitchen. A Harley Davidson has nothing on the sounds that come out of a boy’s mouth. They squirm and fidget. Did we mention they fidget? They give THE BEST hugs and they melt our heart’s. Almost best of all, they make us laugh. They are a force to be reckoned with….so buckle your seat belts…it’s gonna be a bumpy ride.

A little peacefulness before the storm…

What are little boys made of? Slugs and snails and puppy-dog tails’. That’s what little boys are made of. ~ a nursery rhyme.

The army knife, so coveted by boys….with a little bit of female engineering…called Style, makes ‘pretty’….really pretty…of something so tough.

In all that need for utilitarian things, such as pocket knives….we find we can conquer certain mundane tasks…with style…such as; pluck eyebrows and open envelopes…and file a nail….while they whittle a stick, carve initials into trees and cut a fishing line.

Boys will find this cashmere creation, ‘sick’… as in cool…and use it to play catch with the dog. Of course.
