Boys to Men or just Boys to BIGGER Boys?...

How many times have we heard this – ‘There's a boy in every man’.
In my terms, it simply means- in every physiologically-developed male, there lies a psychologically-challenged brain.

Indeed, it is amazing that science has yet to unravel this mystery that has been around for as long as since Adam and Eve?...

It is a natural process that as the body matures, so does the mind. But somehow, the male species has decided to veer off this normal course of progression and put his mental growth on hold indefinitely. (I’m not sure if it’s due to the presence of 2 heads that confuses the 1 brain- which way should it go?)

Men celebrate the fact that they are able to embrace that youthful (or should I say childish) exuberance in life THROUGHOUT their lives. Throw them a Light Saber sword and it’s likely that they wield it with the same enthusiasm whether they are 8, 18 or 80. (Too bad, it doesn’t work the same way for their other more important swords that sadly, flag with age.)

But here comes the perplexing puzzle. When one behaves like a kid, one will get duly chastised like a kid too. But no no… hell forbids! This is the exact part which these BIG children hate and believe that they SHOULD get away with it. ‘Dun act like my mom! I know what I’m doing!’

A frown and a censure for the few words that you, as a girlfriend, might have possibly uttered for having to clean the mud they drag around the house from their so-called healthy soccer-cum-fight sessions. After which, they continue swigging beers on the nice clean couches in their stinky sweat-stained soccer shirts.

And so as I’m ranting on and on about the unfairness of it all, all the men-boys are carrying on their never-ending parties in the Never-Never Land with Peter Pan (hopefully not with MJ!).

But before I end, I need to say this : FOR F*%K’S SAKE, PLEASE GROW UP!
