Boys.  I have been blessed with them.  In fact, I have been blessed with 4 of
 them.  Four wonderful, funny, and completely different boys.
 In my household, be outnumbered as I am, "girly" conversations just
 don't occur. Though it dawned on me during dinner this evening, that I
 will be spending the rest of my life listening to the likes of "boy"
 talk.
 Dinner tonight - topic of conversation:  Making someone laugh so hard that
 what they had just drank came out of their nose.
 I am not joking.
 We discussed the feel of Root Beer "Kind of tingly" (I guess), orange
 juice (a little burning sensation) and how gross it is when it's
 chocolate milk. 
 Then I found myself joining in the topic, only to make myself look like
 a cool mom, and mentioned what it would look like if it was Green Apple
 Arctic Cool Kool-Aid. To this, my children cracked up. Sometimes I can
 be cool. 
 The next topic: How to Jacob, everything tastes like
 Turkey. The funny thing is I don't think he really likes turkey that
 much. But tonight, he claimed his roast beef tasted like
 turkey and then later it was his ice cream.  So I told him he tasted like a turkey.  He told me I tasted like "poopy". 
 Yes, "poopy".  This is Jacob's favorite thing.  I guess when you are 4, poop is funny.
 So, I decided to be funny too.  I asked him, "So Jacob, how do you know what poopy tastes like?" 
 "Ewwwwww" all 3 of my children chimed in, "that's so gross mom".
 I guess they are allowed to be gross, but I can't.  Probably because I am a girl.

Sue,
I love this one! Just like you, I sometimes look around "boy world" and wonder how in the world I will ever survive! I love it, and have learned a lot from them, but for some things, I think you need to be born with testosterone. Maybe we should go get the patch, just to see what it's like....
