My friends that have little boys warned me, but I chose not to believe. They would say, “boys are so different” or “boys are very rough” and as I looked at this little angel I was holding I thought to myself they must be exaggerating. They must be wrong. Nope….they were right.
I feel like boys, well my son at least, have multiple personalities. There’s the sweet little boy that kisses me for no reason. There’s the little boy that wears my high heels proudly around the house.(that one really bakes my husband’s noodle). There’s the boy that says ”vroom-vroom” over and over again until you turn on his favorite show….Monster Jam. Then there is the boy who loves to break everything , punch everyone and wreak havoc whenever and wherever possible. I am not responsible for that little boy.
I went to drop Ethan off at preschool one morning and as we arrived at his door there was another little boy in the way and he acted as if he was not going to let my son through the door and reached out and touched Ethan’s face. Big mistake. It was the first time I witnessed my son being a real boy. I was shocked and asked the teacher if this was normal for him and she informed me it is normal for most boys, but that Ethan was just a little tougher than most boys. Great. Daddy will be so proud. Mommy is not.
So it is true. Boys are full of piss and vinegar. They can bang it, break it, hit it, spill it, smash it, thump it, bump it, beat it, eat it, knock it, block it, lock it, and sock it, but in the end they also can give so much love. Because as hard as they do all of those other things, they can love you just as hard. You can feel it in their hugs and kisses, but you can still taste the vinegar!
