Ok to really get the funny in this post, you need to channel your inner adolescent boy.
I will wait.
Ok, are you in the right mind set? Good.
There is another thing that you have to understand to get to totally funny of this story.
Hayden has always had a taste for all things girly. He likes his toenails painted. He likes to play dress up. And he wishes will all his heart that he will get a Barbie for his Birthday. Jeff and I don’t really mind this about him but we do like to tease him about it to each other when he is out of ear shot. Sorry, if you think we are bad parents but its funny and we can’t help it.
Anyway.
We were having dinner one night and some how we got on the topic of volcanoes. I do believe that it was Jake that started us on this topic because he saw steam coming out of a pot when I was making dinner and he always thinks it a volcano.
Jake suddenly chimes in, “Mom. Mom. Volcano’s explode with hot lava!”
I smile at this enthusiasm and say, “Yes, Jake. I know, that is pretty cool.”
Then I look over at Jeff who is smiling like the adolescent boy that he is and I hear him say, “Yeah, mine exploded about three years ago and that is how we got triplets.”
I roll eyes at Jeff’s statement when Jake says, “I don’t like hot lava.”
Suddenly, Hayden has to chime into the conversation and says, “I like hot lava.”
Then I look over to Jeff and I see him snickering and I know that he just couldn’t help himself, “I know, that is what we are afraid of.”
I give Jeff a dirty look as the boys begin to fight over who likes hot lava explosions and who doesn’t. And as they fight, I can’t help but laugh.
Yup, both Jeff and I are very familiar with our inner adolescent boy.

Sounds like something my hubby would say, too!
I wish I wasn’t laughing at this post – I’d be a much classier person if this wasn’t funny for me. But it is.

We kinda tease about my oldest liking ‘hot lava’ too. He likes to do some girlie things as well… Oh and I can totally see this conversation happening at our house… Totally.

We always joke that our son is really our daughter and our daughter is really our son. I have a hilarious picture of my six-year-old son dressed in my daughter’s fairy costume playing Tinkerbell with her.

Men are just little boys all grown up on the outside, but their brains stop developing at about 13.

Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!! That is soooooo something we would say, too. Probably about Aidan. He’s got a thing for Ashley’s super girl costume…oh, the blackmail material I could have!

As the lone girl over here, I just realized I’m going to have to prepare myself for this adolescent boy stuff…right now it’s all poop and boogers and toots and burps…which will stay I’m sure. And then we’ll move into hot lava.
I’m so screwed.
(NO pun intended)

My twin girls are friends w/ a little boy next door who is the same way. He loves to come over here and play dress up w/ them. I think it’s fine! They’re kids, you know?
This had me ROLLING, though. My hubs would’ve been saying something similar.

lmao!! That is soooooo something my husband would make a joke about, too! In fact, I think I’ll read this to him when he gets home!
Thanks again for the prize! I can’t wait to put something together for it!!

OMG!
My boys have told me all about their “Boyfriends” they met in Kindergarten this week. Everytime they use the word my hubs cringes. That and when one of the twins confesses his love for the color pink.
He also wants to be on the football team, though. But he loves to cook. Likes to play baseball. And pick out my toenail color for my next pedicure.
Who knows, right? I think they just feel unencumbered my societies classifications…….(I think?)

And see…this is why we’re buddies. We both have dirty inappropriate minds.
