That is a play on Boy and Girly.
I think little girls are great. If I had little girls, I would have been happy. But I didn’t. I had little boys. Oh, okay and truthfully, I like little boys better than little girls. They whine less, for one.
I know people who have boys and keep trying for girls. (And the reverse of that too. Gotta have a boy to carry on the proud family name.) I’ve never understood that. I’m so happy to have two healthy, intelligent kids, that I could care less how they go pee-pee.
So for those of you with boys that are longing for girls, I’d like to share a few Boyly Moments with you. Boys will tickle your back and brush your hair – if you bribe them.
And if your little mudslingers are into pain and torment, go buy a jar of wax. I used to go to the salon to get waxed but making time for appointments often left me with hairy legs and an invite to the pool. So I decided to start waxing myself.
You’ve never truly bonded with your sons until they’ve lovingly ripped the hair off your leg. And mine really get into it. I certainly didn’t ask for their help but the thought of ripping something, possibly causing pain really appeals to my two.
So don’t think that if you are blessed with boys, your mothering isn’t complete. Those Boyly Moments are just as wondrous and painful. See? Their laughing, my crying – just like mothers and daughters.

yes. just…. yes.
although i HONESTLY never had my boys wax my legs.
haha! too funny. I grew up in an all-girl household and I have a daughter now. It is true that girls whine more than boys -but I will say one thing. Girls never have stinky bathrooms – dirty, yes, but NEVER stinky.
My son is my biggest whiner of all…BUT he is the best hair comber and back scratcher. He also has the smelliest bathroom in the house.
I love me some boy. Mine is a good kisser. Waxing your legs? really?
I can’t stand to have my back tickled or my hair brushed by someone else. I make an exception to the hair brushing thing for my semi-annual haircut.
Boys are usually less whiny than girls, but I don’t put up with whiny girls either. Whiny gets on my last nerve pdq. We adopted the phrase, “Suck it up, Buttercup” early on for all four kids regardless of gender. They get love and compassion, but when it gets to the point of just whining, we let them know that’s not going to go over well.
Last week I was doing a check of what needed cleaned around the house. The *girls’* bathroom is the one that stunk! The girls claim it’s because the boys have been using it. I think the girls are getting sloppy, but really, how do you figure they’re managing to get pee outside the toilet?
Jenni – my sister and I have determined that girls do indeed pee down the front of the toilet. In fact we think it is the girls rather than the boys.
Your posts about your kids have me laughing out loud. I have two boys of my own, three if you count the hubby, and I can really relate. Boys give you minimal drama, but maximal funkiness.
That is funny. I have never waxed myself; too much of a wimp. I guess I will have to bond with my son in other ways.
