Testosterone Weekend
I sure missed Hannah this weekend. She was away at Guide camp (which she loved!) and I was home with a houseful of boys. Both boys played in a hockey tournement this weekend so it was hockey, hockey, hockey, Wii hockey, hockey, McDonald's, hockey, mini-sticks, hockey! A lot of rough housing and I even overheard Jason at one point suggesting to Henry that he "shoot the puck with a lot of force, not like a little, a little" (I thought no, he's not going to say it) "...girl". That was the final straw!

Oh my. I'm sorry, I just cannot imagine what that is like. Hannah, don't leave your mother alone with the hockey-mad-men again!!

Like a girl? Oh, would he be in trouble.
I hope a really good hockey playing girl joins one of the boys teams and shows them what a girl can do!
How long will Jason have to work to get out of this doghouse?

Good man Jason, good man. Pay no attention to these women and their comments. And watch that Dana, sounds like she'll have Henry in a tutu as soon as you turn your back.

I'm sending Mae over to high-chop your ass, Jason!

Okay Okay, hold on everyone.
I didn't say Girl...I said girgle...which is a hockey term for something, that I forget, that I'm sure exists in a hockey manual somewhere...
Aww, Jason...did you really just backtrack like that? What you did was fine.
There's a fascinating speech out there that Bill Gates gave where he describes in great detail situations similar to this...about how feel-good, politically correct teachings are creating a generation of kids with no concept of reality, and how this concept is setting them up for failure in the real world. This from one of the richest most powerful philanthropists on the planet.
Look for it, it's truly thought provoking. Until then, sorry to break it to you, but boys can accel in areas that girls generally do not...and vice versa. Welcome to the real world.

You were doing fine, Jason: holding your own in an unfair battle (3 to 1) against Dana. Then you had to wimp out with that "fuddle-duddle" thing about girgle or something.
Now we're ALL in trouble. Before, it was just you.
DoD
well really if you all believed that girgle was something...well then...
Sorry to remind you all that in the 2006 Olympics, the Canadian girls kicked ASS with a Gold! And the boys, well, not sure they even showed up, did they?? 7th overall if I recall...
Take THAT! Lace up those hockey skates Hannah!

I'm not sure, but I believe the 2006 Olympic hockey women were playing other women. Am I wrong?
If you want to stay out of trouble, just do what I do and say, "Stop playing like a retard."

Smartyboots. I knew someone would point that out.
