The boy speaks the truth until the boy wants something from and girl.
It took the first 10 years of my 28 year marriage to learn "yes dear" I realized that even if I won the fight with my wife that I would ultimately lose in the long run.
Better to just give it up early and live a happy life
Thanks so much for that link to the Cocker site. The song titles never loaded but I found the links with my cursor. I gotta have that album and that song Don't give up on me was damned outstanding. I could hear John playing in the background and it made me smile. Again, thank you so much!
To paraphrase something I once read carved in a plaque of wood, one of a hundred, nailed to the wall of a roadside sandwich stand: 'Everyone knows Father's in charge, but what Mother says goes.'
I'm with him and I'm also with girls who rule too. Dogs rule too for the matter, but that's off-topic.
I'm a little surprised that people think an 8.5 year old boy who is proud of what he is might be some sort of budding member of the dread patriarchy though.
We here at Monkey Muck HQ would like to remind your son of one thing: MONKEYS REALLY RULE, so nah nah nah.
ReplyDeleteYoung Montag 2 (my daughter) sends a message, too.

That's awesome. Thanks for the giggle this morning.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, boys drool.
Great. Now I'm getting into it with a virtual 8 1/2 year old....
Yeah, they may think they rule, but all us girls know that boys have cooties. :)

ReplyDeletePatricia's right. Dude rocks, but he'll figure it out. They let you think you rule, but we really know the truth, deep-down inside.

ReplyDeleteYeah, well, the punchline to my favorite dirty joke:
ReplyDelete"Yeah, but my mommy says with one of these I can get as many of those as I will ever want."
QD is right.

Evil Spock wants to enlist your son as the minister of propaganda in Evil Spock's future administration.
ReplyDeleteHis use of language has made Evil Spock truly believe that boys do rule.
Kudos!
No, I won't say anything about this. I know when to keep my mouth shut.
ReplyDeleteOne thinks said boy should stop listening to might-makes-right Republicans and learn to value the benefits of mutual cooperation.
ReplyDeleteMost judicious of you to include the "1/2". It's important at that age.
ReplyDeleteJust as the "1/2" is important to me.
