thankful#9: boys

by Karmen |

Sugar and spice
and everything nice
That’s what little girls are made of.

had I been asked
in my youth 
what I thought I would’ve had a house full of 


my prediction:

GIRLS. GIRLS. GIRLS!

GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN!

 oH GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE  FUN!


was our theme song growing up

my 2 sisters 
and 5 stair step cousins-ALL GIRLS 


froo-froo is what I knew:

playing house
playing babies
accessories
nail polish
matchy-matchy
NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK

DRAMA 
with a dash more
 D-R-A-M-A!


fast forward 30 years

my reality:

 BOYS!

Slugs and snails
And puppy-dogs’ tails,
and

MUD!


SPURS


HANDSOMENESS


and BUGS


and CUTENESS


and CAMPFIRES


 and TOUGHNESS


and more TOUGHNESS



 and FROGS


 PONIES


 and FISH


and FEATHER FUN



that’s what our BOYS


 are made of

and I wouldn’t trade em’
for a house FULL 
of GIRLS!
