Updates on whether being a boy has changed in the last 30 years:
1) Owen, upon being served an expensive cut of steak: "Ah wan' tchetchup. An ah wan' mustard."
Upon running out of ketchup, which he was scooping up with his hands and licking off: "Ah nee' mo' tchetchup." Me: "You need to eat some brussel sprouts first." "Ah feel sick." Upon eating some brussel sprouts and being rewarded with more ketchup: "Daddy! Ah'm all better!"
2) James, upon being served an expensive cut of steak: "Mmm, steak!! It's like a hambooger!" Upon taking a bite: <reverberant groan of masculine pleasure>
3) James, upon watching Wile E. Coyote fall to bottom of a cliff and crushed by a falling anvil: <collapsed on the floor rolling about in hysterical laughter, pounding his fist on the carpet and trying to draw breath>
4) Owen, upon watching Wile E. Coyote fall to the bottom of a cliff and crushed by a falling anvil: "He eat, he eat--'MEEP-MEEP!' Ha-ha, big rock!"
Seriously? I am unable to understand what you were trying to explain while writing this article. You should have explained it more and it should be to the point.
