I ran across some of these funny things on the internet the otherday...if you have boys you can relate...
You find yourself willingly holding a living creature that
you would usually run away from screaming.
You have an unhealthy knowledge of the point/gem system
for Temple Run, Dragonvale, Bakugan, Plants vs. Zombies, Cube Runner …
You can’t muster the brain power to recall what you ate
for breakfast, yet you can inherently transform a Transformer (without the 30
pages of directions it came with).
Your child asks you to marry him and you’re totally
considering it. (so true)
You know what a Ripstik is and you’re not afraid to use
it.
You spend much of your days in a fog of fart odor
A little penis seems to be constantly whizzing by (well,
let’s hope that’s your sons).
You’ve actually placed yourself under a tree with the
feeling that, if that kiddo loses footing you’ll at least be there to break his
fall.
You know the pain of stepping on a Lego … and may in
fact, have one imbedded somewhere in your body right now.
There’s a finger in your eye, your ear, or up your nose
and it’s not yours.
You understand what I mean when I say “bleacher butt,” as
in, “My sits bones are literally numb, I have bleacher butt.”
You’ve found yourself saying things like, “No, you can’t
ride the dog.” and “Yes, you do have to keep your pants on in public.”
You’ve had in depth conversations about who would win in
multiple variations of match-ups involving Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain
America, X-Men, Daddy …
Though you claim to be an absolute pacifist, you’ve had
a talk that involved you urging, “Sometimes you gotta push back.”
At some point you notice the change in smell from “OMG
sooo sweet” to “Get that tween some AXE.”
You can use your keyboard, phone, iPad, but there’s a
good chance your fingers will get stuck to it.
You can’t find a single pair of pants without holes in
the knees.
Some others I would add:
There’s a love you feel for your son that’s too great
and sometimes too scary to fully explain or even comprehend.
You cant redirect a hobby, obession until they are ready to relinquish it. Hello spoons, matchbox cars, star war figures, mini guys, halloween, legos.....
