Raising Boys (Funny) - Page 2

My 13 year-old darling son has his equally 13 year-old best buddy over. Their conversation for the past half-hour has been "Tactical Strategies In Case You Are Ever Attacked in Any Manner, on Land, Sea, Sky." As a female I must say that I never once during my growing up time ever EVER thought of such things. They are very detailed about it and taking it all Very Seriously as though they expect, any minute, to be assailed from all sides.

This is normal for boys, right?

Yes.

Absolutely! That stuff completely consumed me and my best friend at that age. Only a few years until that imagination is lost forever. Let them roll around in their fantasy world while they may.

I remember one time we got caught up in the notion of being James Bond-like spies. It was all women, skiing, and exotic cars. We even (and this is still painful to admit) wore suits to school one day to impress girls with our suaveness and debonair ways. Practically bathed in Pierre Cardin aftershave, as well.

Wasn't pretty. We ended up making up some story about having an appointment for family portraits at the same time right after school, so we wouldn't have time to change. I wish I could say that was the dorkiest thing I did in school.....
