Cute Boy vs. Innocent Bird

You know the old poem about little boys? 


What are little boys made of?
What are little boys made of?
Frogs and snails
And puppy-dogs' tails,
That's what little boys are made of.
 

I don't know about this cute little guy being made up of amphibians and dog parts, but after 15+ years of mothering boys I've discovered that there definitely is a different mind set in the male brain. 

What kind of differences you ask? 

Here's a direct example from Adam's 2nd grade report on birds: 



One of the biggest hazards to orioles is hunters....


hunters in tanks and helicopters apparently.

  1. Those poor orioles. They didn't stand a chance.

  2. Wow, that's quite a scene! If by the time Adam is in Young Mens he can figure out how to pull that off as a high adventure activity, I'm sure Jack would be more than willing to serve as a leader/chaperon/tank commander.
