The Deal

juliaheffernan:

What’s the deal with boys?  This is the girliest question I have ever asked.  But, seriously, I need to know.

My best friend Julia asked this question recently in her blog. I would like to field the question, if I may.

The Deal with Boys

 We boys are a complicated breed. But I can break down our decision making influences fairly easily by age.

0-5 Whatever our Mother says is Law

5-10 Whatever our Father says is Law

10-13 Whatever Stone Cold Steve Austin says is Law.

13-21 Whatever our…how to put it… reproductive organ says is Law

21-23 Whatever our Spouse says is Law

23-30 Whatever we want to say is Law, damn it. What if I don’t want to spend my Saturday at Pottery Barn? I have rights too!

30-65 Whatever our Spouse says is Law 

65-80 All decisions are made based on current state of bladder control

80-Death I make my own Laws, damn it. I don’t need people! At one point, I made my own people! And I could make more too if I wanted to! But I can’t seem to do it anymore! Plus, my wife has some fairly good suggestions every once in a while.

So what I suggest to Julia, is find out the age of the boy which confuses you and act according to this helpful chart.
