boys

i just spent this past friday night (and part of saturday) with 16 boys... and enjoyed myself.  I was the only person in the group with two X chromosomes.  Most of my life I have been more comfortable being around multiple guys than multiple girls.  If you think about it, I had three guy housemates growing up (my lovely three "little" brothers), and it wasn't until college that I lived with a girl.  (We're not counting my mom here...).  I've always been outnumbered.  I think this weekend was the most outnumbered I've been though! 

 

I loved growing up with boys.  Typically they are much more easy going, and are usually very entertaining (whether they mean to be or not).  Boys are usually more honest too.  Girls beat around the bush...they try to drop hints...they try to be sneaky.  I'm at fault for each of these myself.  Sometimes I wish I was more like a boy...but only up to a certain extent. =)

 

On the other hand, I love being a girl.  I like being treated like a lady (which my husband does a great job of).  But I also like being challenged with things that girls may not be expected to do well. (I suck at lifting weights, but at least I can snowboard and play foosball well!). 

 

There's a lot to say about boys and girls.  And I'm not going to say it all here...I just thought I'd mention how outnumbered I was this weekend, and this is where I ended up. All that being said, I now live with a boy again...and it is super fun.  He's the best roomie I've ever had!  And maybe next time we go hang out with 16 of his friends I'll have to bring up another double X chromosome just to back me up if I need it.
