We Are Boys

Dear girls,

We might not act like the perfect sons to our parents; they exist only in movies.

We might not talk to our parents about issues; we are boys, we don't talk.

We might call our moms only when we need food or money;

We might flatter our dads just to borrow their cars;

We might help mom in housework just because we need a favor in return;

But we love them as much as you do.

We might look like Homer Simpson to you; trust us, we are Bart.

We might pretend that we are not listening to your stories; we are.

We might not know what is your pet's name; well we might not know it for real.

We know how to drive; please stop giving us instructions.

We might not know what your friend said to you the other day; we don't want to know.

We might pretend that we haven't noticed your new bag; we have.

We love our girlfriends as much as you do.

Sincerely,

boys.
