Only Boys ...

Boys are just ... well ... BOYS.

Enough said.

But in case you need convincing ... case in point:

This evening.

Both boys are sitting on the couch, sharing a snack of Fruit Loops.

Jonah suddenly FLIES off the couch,

"I need to go poopy!!!!!"

"Well, then, go!"
"No, Mommy. I need your help!"

So, we rush off down the hall.

Sit him on the toilet.

I leave him to do his business.

A minute later ...

"Mommy, can you come here?"

"Jonah, Mommy will come to help you finish.

I am just here in the living room"

(Aside to Eli - he just wants me to smell it.

Smell the stinky bathroom.

No reason excepting he is a boy.

Eli doesn't believe this ... but ...)

"But, Mommy, can you just come here for a second?"
"Why?"

"I just need to show you something really quick."

So, I trudge down the hallway,

walk into the bathroom,

"What did you want to show me?"

A devious grin ... and ... "Now smell!"

Yes. This is the same child who daily requests that I smell his feet.

His shoes. His socks.

All the while grinning.

Sigh.

Boys.
