Well it's Saturday again and it's just my little one and me...The male species of my clan went quadding again this weekend...they will slide into home just in time for Mothers Day on Sunday. How appropriate...I was told yesterday that they would be going quadding for...what let me see the 4th weekend in a row. Yea, go have fun! The conversation goes something like this: (This is my son talking to me first) "Oh yea we're going quadding, you're not going are you? As a look of pain slowly takes over his face, when he sees my reaction, he breaks into his usual smirkish grin and says "oh I mean, you should just stay home and relax." Niiiicccceeee...
When I inform him that I would rather have a medical exam in Grand Central Station at high noon and film it for "Girls Gone Wild", he relaxed quite a bit. You see when I go with them, if I actually go, it usually is because my little one wants me to go...they have to actually act like real people, not the unruly cave men that they really are...Last weekend I went to California..they went quadding..they brought enough water for 4 people and they brought enough beer for 12...The dogs drank all of the water and my little one was dehydrated and they had to go home early. I was told that "that is why we need a woman to go on the trip." So I can make sure that we bring enough water in the hot desert while quadding....Lovley !
Wouldn't that be an expectation? Quadding+Desert=Water. I thought so... Anyway Rob told me that he wasn't sure that they were going to leave yesterday maybe this morning... and is acting like a spring chicken...When I see him he has actually turned into a cave man before my very eyes....
He's comes in for a total of about 40 minutes and he and my son fly out the door for a "boys" weekend or should I say "cave man weekend". A few texts in the next couple of hours, and then that is it..
What is that? Why do boys act as if they have just been let out of jail when they are away from women? I act the same with my friends..I don't turn into a beer drinkin, fire making ( because when they are quadding i hear all about the big fire that they made...i'm serious) irresponsible, cave men?? Maybe it is just the male species of my clan...not sure? But I do know that you hear the phrase "Boys will be Boys"....that follows through to adult hood and probably even death...
I don't get it...at this point though...i'm not even trying.
