Boys see things different. They just do. You see a stick, they see a sword. You see dirty underwear, they see a helmet.
My favorite age for getting a truly boy tinted lens on the world though, is round abouts the age of five. You know, that magical age where they say those darnedest things that leave us both embarrassed and slapping our knee.
One my favorite things that has ever come out of the mouth of my boys was said by my oldest when he was five. We were driving down the highway and I, in all my non-boy-hood, saw a city worker mowing grass in the median of the highway on a cold winter day (ski mask, included). What did my five year old see? …
Spoken, in dead seriousness, and with the most adorable of five year old lisps:
“Hmm. Well, there goes a ninja on a tractor. Wonder where he’s going?”
What crazy thing has your boy said lately while viewing the world with boy-tinted glasses?
