My Life with Boys

Keegan came home from school the other day with a large piece of paper, poster board size, in his backpack.  When unfolded, there were the answers to a series of questions a classmate had asked as part of an interview.  In large orange letters:  "My favourite subject is art.  My favourite animals are dogs.  My favourite planet is (you know what I am going to write, don't you?) Uranus."  Even several days later, it still makes me giggle proving that one is never too old for a good Uranus joke, if such a thing exists.  I actually have to take the blame for this one since I was the person who decided, over the summer, that they boys were ready to learn the subtle humour behind the word "Uranus."  I was right.  They were ready but I misjudged their ability to filter the humour in public.  Ooops.

A couple of days ago, I had to quickly explain to Quinn the inappropriateness of taking a picture of one's penis.  I'm not sure that they quite got it as he and Keegan crept upstairs a few minutes later  with giggles and whispers.

On this dreary, wet fall day, I had the urge to look back at some summer photos.

  3. This made me laugh so much. My son is thirteen and still finds Uranus jokes irresistible. Though he has outgrown the picture taking phase... at least I think so ;)
