I don't understand boys/men!

[Tinkermommy]

So my DS is such a little "guy" already and my DH totally encourages it.

Some examples:

He makes himself fart and burp and then says "Good one" and cracks up. If my DH is around they high five. I keep reminding him to say excuse me, which he will do, but it's way to fun a game for him.

Then they were playing a "game" the other day, DS would hand his dad a tennis ball then bend over and ask him to hit him on the bottom! They both thought this was hysterical.

It just makes me shake my head. I am so glad he has DH around and they do the guy stuff together, but it does puzzle me the things they find funny.

I don't understand them either but for completely different reasons . Maybe that's what makes them so great?

Good luck! My 31 year old brother burps and then says "That's right" or "You're welcome" .

Don't worry, men don't understand women/girls either!

Get line...none of us understand men. I have figured out that their average age of mental maturity seems to be about 14, though, if that helps.

If you ladies would learn to think rationally occasionally you'd be able to understand men.

That's true. I've learned from men that if you just say someone else does something better than you that will get you out of whatever it is that needs doing .

Uh oh...

When a fart is mine, I claim it loud and proud. I've also been known to hi-five kids for really good burps too.

When I was about 15, I had to fart (and I knew it was gonna be a good one!) so I ran into the living (which was a sunken living room) leaped off of the top step and landed in front of our dog, Max. Then I squatted and let it rip right in the dog's face. My two sisters and a few cousins were sitting in the living room watching tv and the girls just looked at me all horrified. Then my one male cousin rolled his eyes and yelled "careful...lady comin;' through".

Luckily i outgrew my farting-on-the-family-pets phase.

Farts...they ain't just for men anymore.

Pretty much all of my close friends are guys and most of them do those kind of things, especially when we were growing up. My favorite (you know, sarcastically) is when they have spitting contests, YUCK!

DBF's sister...first of all, in their family, they call it "doing rockets." She'll open the door, stick her butt outside, let one rip and yell "Blast off!"

She's 34, BTW...

Count me in as one who doesn't get the whole body noises fascination.How childish! I'm so lucky to be married to a man who thinks that sort of display is base and he sets a great example for my kids. NOBODY in my family poots(out loud, anyway ) Not that we panic if someone lets a little one slip, but if it happens we don't break out in a Celebration of Methane.

 

[Eeyore'sthebest]

My beautiful, talented, brilliant DD(10), will frequently run up to you and scream "locked and loaded" and let the biggest fart rip. I blame that on my DH.

 

[Stitchfans]

If I told my DDs once I have told them a million zillion times. "Males are strange creatures.... can't live with them and can't shoot them."


Like it has been said they do not understand us and we will never understand them. Just the way it is.

My male puppy likes to steal my panties out of the wash basket. Boys....doesn't even matter the species!

We're the same way, thank goodness. Actually, I don't mind a burp now and then, but my boys get a mean glare from my husband if he hears them burp out loud.

Some funny stories here regarding the passing of gas!

The thing that amazes me is my DS is like this at such a young age. He's only 3. I guess I have many more years of this.

I have one sister and my DD came first, so I am learning all the boy stuff. It's different but it is fun!

 

[C.Ann]

Making a game of farting - and people who spit just for the sake of spitting - are not "funny" people in my world.. It's just plain nasty - and I don't hesitate to tell people so..

I've also learned that it's not just a "guy" thing.. Ugh.. Disgusting..

Funny this topic should come up...Mythbusters was actually doing "lighting farts" tonight (BTW, it does work). DH looks at me and says "of course it works, we used to do it in college ALL the time. That, and lighting socks on fire."

Exqueeze me? Lighting your socks on fire you say? And WHY pray tell, would anyone do such a thing? I assume this happens when you are not wearing them...

NOPE. They used to light their socks on fire WHILE wearing them, because "the more pilly your socks, the better. The match lights the pills and you can watch the flame crawl across your foot lighting all the other sock-pills." Then he ran to get a sock and some matches. Yes...he tried to set his sock on fire right here, just 30 seconds ago. Didn't work. He was very disappointed.

He assures me they never burnt themselves. I am speechless. He insists it was commonplace. Why aren't there college dorms burning to the ground all the time??

 

[momof5boys]

Welcome to my world! Is it any wonder that I hide in my bedroom alot?!

 

[PatsGirl]

Father-son time is very important but I dare say there are better things he might be teaching him at 3

Put me in on the side of "GROSS"! It's common knowledge that we all have gas and other bodily functions that aren't so pretty, lol, but to exploit them for laughter is something I never understood or allowed in my house. The kids were taught early on to "step away" when passing gas and to excuse themselves for burping. Again,it happens, but I don't get bathroom humor

I can't stop laughing at this!

I still think farts are funny. I giggle uncontrollably every time I cut one loose (althuogh I do excuse myself . . . eventually). My husband still farts in the dogs' faces on occasion. Guess I will be just fine with my son once he gets old enough to appreciate toilet humor.
