Boys will be Boys

I had the opportunity to babysit four little boys the other night. The oldest is 8, then 5, then 3, and 8 months. I was sitting and watching them play the wii thinking about their family. Four boys, not girls...I just had to ask them if they wanted a sister. I got some funny responses.

8-year-old: No. I don't like girls.
5-year-old: Yes. Then there would be more kids to play with!...and...I kinda like girls.

I asked if they had any friends that were girls. The 8-year-old didn't, the 5-year-old had a lot, and the 3-year-old had one. I told them that a lot of my friends are guys to which I got the response...

3-year-old: AND THEY ARE NICE TO YOU?

I sent them up to get ready for bed and stayed downstairs for just a minute. I heard something about a toilet and ran up to see what in the world was going on. I got up there just in time to see the 3-year-old standing with both feet in the toilet. All three older boys had wet hair. EWWWWWW! I told them that they should not play in the toilet because that is very gross. Their only responses were...

Boys: We put our hands, fingers, feet, and heads in there! It's not gross to us! We are boys!

(Boys are disgusting!)
