The Accidental Pastor's Wife

My oldest two sons, age maybe 6 and 4 at the time, were outside playing...

Oldest son: EWWWW! Look, bird poop! Gross! Come smell it!

And younger brother does.

I submit to you a girl would NEVER, NOT EVER come smell poop!

that's too good!

I think moms of boys make this statement more often than moms of girls:

"Stop picking your nose and eating your boogers."

when you find Hot wheels cars in the fridge or Action figures frozen in a cup in the freezer!!

I have two sons... and many stories!

Boy moms must endure the celebration of otherwise ignored, shall we say, noisy bodily functions. When boys fart, they look at each other and say, "Wow! That was a good one!"

When I consider what a compatible daughter-in-law would be like someday, I think she should have brothers so she won't be shocked when the farts are celebrated.

Well, as the mom of 5 boys and 6, soon to be 7m, grandsons, my life has sort of been like living on the set of the Three Stooges.

When my oldest son was about 8, he decided that he would rolls dirty socks into balls and hurl them as his sister, hollaring "stink bomb" as they landed. This would make her really mad so she got even. One night when he was gone, she took his pillow case and rubbed in all over between her toes. He never knew but she has had held this secret delight for 20 years!

And I agree about girls with brothers being better able to cope in marriage. My daughter married a guy who is also one of 5 brothers with only one sister. She was prepared.
