Boys are so much easier. And everybody tells me that boys require more of your energy up front, but you can relax later when you're not dealing with the drama of teenage girls!

Flannel shirts over t-shirts. Or the GQ look. Long-sleeve button-downs with a ratty t-shirt over the top, corduroy pants. It's so much fun. With girl clothes, it's so obvious how to make them look cute. With boys? You can let your creativity shine. Currently I’m in the phase of dressing my son like a grunge rocker.

Forget finding great clearance bargains for boys, they're almost non-existant! Yeah, I meant to write something about that too, the fact that there are very few clothing choices for boys.

I can dig camo or pirate; it's the never-ending sports themed clothes that induce involuntarily rolls of my eyes - with the exception of extreme sports, like skateboarding and surfing. But all the discussion of genitalia is starting to make me feel faint. Freud was wrong; it's not penis envy, but penis phobia. Thank you!!

As a mom of four boys I have smelled that wet-dirt-worms smell many times. I always say they smell like puppies when their hair gets wet. And yes, I do wash it! It's like their natural odor. Yes!
