The male of the species is rather unique, don't you think? And the strange thing is that inside each grown male, that eight-year-old sense of humor is lurking. It only needs to be stoked and encouraged by the presence of a herd of other young males to burst forth in marvelous silliness. I took two young men to a baseball game this evening. There were a few conversations that would have caused anyone to stop and listen. Here is a random sampling:
- Best quote (by an 8 year old male): "If you have a Sunkist-Root Beer float burp, it tastes really bad."
- Best quote (by a 34 year old acting like an 8 year old): "I think that a meteorologist ninja is a pretty frightening combination if you ask me."
- Also overheard by any observant eavesdropper:
"How can it be 'Independent Bank' since we've seen like three of them?"
"What if the Incredible Hulk got green and big when he was really happy instead of really angry?"
"If a skunk had a dirty diaper, would anyone notice?"
Just further proof that the rich, deep philosophical conversations of the males in our society are alive and well.
i love those comments:-)
thank you again chris, i know joshua could use much attention from a strong, christian male-role-model and i appreciate any and all of your input!
Did they have something in the news about terrifying green giants or meteorologists mixing with tunnel-dwelling turtles? Must of missed that report. What on earth are they talking about??
It leaves you with a sudden urge to ask: "What?!?!"
Like a toddler in a snowstorm, I am somewhat interesting and somewhat frightening to behold. I write simply because I can, but also to give my wife a break from the witty reparte. I am the proud husband to the bravest person I know (Mrs. Underdog). As the father of five tenacious, awe-inspiring children (the Pups #1-5), I am yours truly: the Underdog.
