Gender Differences

Prince Charming leaves for camp tomorrow and needed some new towels. I mentioned this as we were about to leave the house and he decided to stay home. I almost asked if he was sure he didn't want to pick out his towels, but Little Runner Girl had to be somewhere, so I didn't. Little Runner Girl hopped in the car and said "Prince Charming's not coming?" I said "No, I have to go buy him some towels." Little Runner Girl rolled her eyes and said "I would want to go so I could pick out my towels. Boys are so weird." Apparently, towel color and design are not exactly a big deal to almost twelve year old boys.
Of course, I am sure there are some girls that age who don't care either. I just don't happen to know any. But here is what really made me laugh...Prince Charming called me while I was at the store. "Hey Mama? I need another bathing suit, too. Will you get one while you're at the store?" I guarantee a girl would never wear a suit she didn't pick out for herself. Boys. They are weird.

I haven't picked out my own clothes since I got married. The smart boys le the girls do this for us and we look much better for it.

You should have bought him a Barbie towel or some other girl one!!! Then you would get him to come along to the store to help you!!!!

Are you 'effin crazy?? Well, yes, I knew that. But who sends NEW towels to camp? You're supposed to send him with the ones that the cat shit on or that you wiped up the puke with or or or...anything but NEW!!!!

Suze, $5 towels from Target that he can loose are way better than my beloved Egyptian cotton, I can't believe towels cost this much towels. Cat mess comes off in the washer.
