Posted on April 16, 2011 by allthingsboys

Movie tickets for matinee for five:  40.00 Concession stands junk:                     35.00 Seeing your kids close their eyes during a PG-13 movie that should have been rated R?  Priceless-and not in a good way. Can I have my money back?

What Boys Do…

Supplication of the Squirrel

Driving?

Posted on April 10, 2011 by allthingsboys

I’ve actually been thinking about this day for at least three years with the same amount of trepidation that is associated with thinking about a root canal.  Nevermind the increase in insurance premiums, dented fenders, speeding tickets, parking tickets, running over the … Continue reading →
