You are so funny...indeed, my spycam is searching you out...

Having grown up surrounded by men, I was used to fart contests, belching contests, peeing contests and all manner of 'manly' games...I guess I was always jealous that I was a girl, and had to be a spectator at these games, rather than a participant

My husband-to-be at the time, was pleasantly surprised, that it was rather difficult to shock me with certain aspects of his behavior... after getting to know my male relatives he realized that I had probably seen and heard just about everything...made it somewhat easier for me, having had just sons myself...

I remember one time, when one of my boys was just a couple of years old, it was raining outside, and my dad was sitting on the porch watching my older boy who was probably about 3yrs old at the time...my son was out there in the rain, playing and having fun, and of course, had to jump into every mud puddle, and squish around in it until mud was flying everywhere...I said to my dad, 'Why does he do that"? My dad wisely looked at me, and said, well, its because hes a boy, get used to it, it may get progressively worse...Wise man, my dad...

I like what you wrote about your Father! I grew up in a house full of girls! No boys, and my Father died when I was young.... when my Mother finally remarried, he had 5 girls! Eight girls, plus Mom and one man...... lol

I had a daughter, then 5 years later a son. They are as opposite as humanly possible..... I will never be able to "guess" what my son will do next...he just thinks so differently than I do.....I adore him, but he definitely shows me a whole different side of life!

My father died when I was young, and I was raised by a mother and older sister who had absolutely no understanding of men and boys whatsoever. When I discovered that there are women out there who understand, I felt like I had arrived in Heaven. I still feel that way. Maybe that's what Heaven is!
