Description
Where do I begin? Being a boy was not always easy. You had your enemies and bullies to deal with. You had your math teacher to deal with. You had your parents to deal with all the time to prove you didn’t do something you did. You had to deal with neighborhood dogs because they could smell you were a dog beater.
You had to deal with yourself so that you could fit in. You had the games teacher who wanted you to do gymnastics and stuff! You just had to deal with all those things… and then, you had to grow. If you forgot to grow your grand parents were on your case that you were too thin or too small at your age. That you don’t eat, that your dad used to be a fat boy and he ate all things that you refuse to eat.
Boy! Being a boy was full of life! In fact in our village, the boys would look after cows, goats and other domestic animals. We would go swimming in rivers and dams! My father was convinced that boys never died! He was a living example! He still is. Let not get started about my old man.
Where did those boys go? Well, may be there is one around the corner. Boys! Another marvel of creation!
