Quantcast

Boys will be boys…

“Hey, honey! I was looking at some of the things we have to do this weekend and so I want to talk about schedules. Can you take a few minutes from work to go over it with me?”

“Sure.”

“Ok, it looks like tonight you are probably going out with the guys to quiz night at The Owl. Friday night our family is going to have dinner and games at Max and Brigitte’s. Saturday afternoon Linny and Nooncy are coming up to be with the family, and Sunday you said you wanted to take the boys to the gym to swim and shoot hoops to practice your game since joining your company’s basketball team. Sunday is also the day Rachel is going to be in Logan, plus I have game night at Brian Joy’s that night. Am I leaving anything off?”

“Yeah. I…um…have a thing on Saturday morning.”

“A thing?”

“…Uh…Yeah…A thing.”

“WHAT thing?”

“Um…er…It’s…a…It’s the first meeting of our “Jujitsu Club.”

(Moment of silence due to not knowing how to take this tidbit of information except that it was totally apparent it would involve me laughing my ass off at some point.)

“Well, I did say that you should be involved in more social activities and hang out with friends more often. I suppose watching tons of Jacki Chan and Jet Li movies qualifies you for this? Just make sure that you don’t hurt yourself or let your Super Secret Ninja Club run too late in the day.”

    LOL… K, this totally cracks me up! I can’t wait to let the ninja comments begin. HEHEHE.

    On another note… If you and Rachel plan on having coffee (or other beverage of your choice) on Sunday give me a call. I might need a 15 minute break from my kids.

    /hug

    Oh, and lunch is ON tomorrow.

    LOL!!!! Yeah, adults are really just kids playing dress up. I think this everyday, but then again I spend everyday in the theater department. Tee hee!

    to quote a line from syndney white – wouldn’t a pirate ninja be totally cool?

    at least when he dresses like a ninja on halloween you won’t be wondering if he’s going to be robbing your neighbors.

    I wish my husband wanted to do something like that so I would have someone to laugh at. :) (laugh with all the love that a wife has)

    Bridgy-Yay! Lunch tomorrow for sure. Call me. I’m also in for the Cache Valley Blogger Conference Lunch on the 12th.

    And yup…Plan on Sunday.

    Rachel-Yup. We’re all just kids. The toys have just changed…

    Pink-I totally think he should go as a ninja this year. Maybe it will be family theme.

    Glitters-Isn’t loving spousal guffawing the best kind that there is??? Seriously, though. It is good-natured laughing because it cracks me up that he can still be such a kid. I love it. It is worrisome a little. He tends to get carried away. Luckily, his brother Daniel is trained so hopefully he won’t come home in a body cast. :S

    so. funny.

    so many “manboys” are into the comic-book/super secret ninja thing, it’s sort of surreal. i remember a good friend of mine (you’ll know who i’m talking about, loralee, he comes up in my blog often) telling me that his way of coping with life’s stresses is to convince himself that he is a superhero….i had to laugh, but also had a bit of an “awwwwwwwwww!” moment.

    this post does THAT to me…it’s classic. ;)

    There is NOTHING wrong with a bunch of half naked sweaty grown men rolling around on the floor together trying to get the other guy to “submit”.

    Nothing at all. [shudder]

    A Juijitsu Club sounds perfectly reasonable to me. And pretty cool. Maybe it is a guy thing.

    Bee-OH! That is so cute. I know, I’m glad that you get that I am not laughing at it in a cruel way, it’s freaking adorable how they are still little boys. :)

    Hairy-EXACTLY.

    Bridge-I know you feel my pain.

    Erika-Like you have to even ASK. You would be one super stealthy wise ninja.

    Dave- HA HA HA HA OMG…That is all I can mutter while laughing so hard.

    Radio-Of course it’s a guy thing. Not saying that there are not many female martial arts participants out there, but I ‘m not sure that they would make a whole club out of it.

    Jen- I KNOW. It would be funnier if you could see it in person.

    Camille-Oh, this and SO much more, my friend!

    Brother-I wasn’t sure how this scenario could get funnier. Till now.

    Tim-HA HA HA HA! You must walk across this rice paper and leave no mark!
