Life with Boys

You would think with 5 boys we would have learned most of the things you need to know about raising boys . . . but there's always something new.

Cade (who is the taller 4 year old) needed to go tinkle. And this is how the conversation went.

Cade: Mom, I need to go pee.

Mom: Make sure you sit down!

Cade: I wanna stand!

Mom: No, it will go everywhere - sit down.

Cade: No MOM! It won't go everywhere.

So, Cade stands.

And it goes everywhere.

Mom: Here's the rag - clean it up.

And Cade precedes to dip the rag in the toilet (that he hasn't flushed yet) and clean up his mess.


(sigh) . . . boys!
