It's reigning men

#4 again. Arrghhh!

Tonight he came storming into the kitchen, and yelled,"I hate men! I hate all men. Men - who needs them?"



He has been pestering his brothers again -clothes pins clamped onto the arm of whoever walks past, signs on our backs,ice down pants, you name it. So, his brothers all went out into the shed, and told him that no kids were allowed, only men. And that he would never be a man unless he got to be older than #3. Once he sat down and figured out when he would be older than #3, never, he became enraged.


He has announced that when he grows up, no men will be allowed anywhere near him - he's only going to be surrounded by ladies. Knowing him, that is a distinct possibility.

He has Erin's sympathy - she thinks it *completely* unfair that she will never get older than her brother.

Sounds like someone either needs a whole lot of one-on-one time, or a good whallopin'. Your call.

Re It's reigning men

Buster was upset about never being older until I pointed out that he will probably be taller. That seemed to please him.

Re It's reigning men

If he figures out how to make that whole constantly surrounded by ladies thing work, have him drop me a line, eh?

Your old music cannot sustain you through a life, not if you're someone who listens to music every day, at every opportunity. You need input, because pop music is about freshness, about Nelly Furtado and the maddeningly memorable fourth track on a first album by a band you saw on a late-night TV show. And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby
