Wisdom of boys: Why God likes them better
I was walking on the schoolyard with a 7-year-old friend today when he slipped his backpack on backward, giving himself a great round belly full of books.
“Look,” he said, patting his protuberance. “It’s the new fashion.”
Then I decided to pick his little brain for blog fodder:
“That way you can see what it feels like to be pregnant,” I said with a grin, motioning to a pregnant mom across the lawn.
Belly Boy: “That’s just for girls.”
“I know. We’re lucky,” I said, leading him a little closer to the edge.
BB: “No, we’re lucky. We don’t have to worry about that stuff.”
Me: “Yeah, guys just have to sit around and act worried.”
BB: “… and worry about whether the baby’s a girl or not.”
That boy is wise beyond his years.
