The Maturity of Men



Last night some friends and I were hanging out.  The men folk were hanging out as well and the kids were all playing. We were out in Oklahoma, er…I mean Gainesville, Texas.  Way out there.   Way.  Firewood was chopped, food was grilled.  Kids playing on giant tire swings and jumping on trampolines. It was a lot of fun.bobbyjannas 031

Anyhow, we’re all just hanging out having fun and the guys decided they wanted to have a bit more fun .  Fun that involved all of the women and children being forced into the house for our safety.  We were on lock down.  If you’ve never been on lock down, I’ll just tell ya, it makes you go a little stir crazy.  Men, beer, a bonfire and things to burn apparently equals great fun.  I’ll admit it was entertaining…for the first 10 min.  3 hours later and I’m thinking “what the hell…seriously?”

We venture out into the danger zone, under cover of the garage.  3 men and 1 teenager having the time of their lives. Hootin’, hollerin’, rolling around, laughing so hard that I hear them bellow…“it hurts, oh god it hurts!”.   So we’re standing there staring in disbelief as our grown men are acting like little boys.  My friends daughter said, “Why are they hanging out with that teenager (one of the sons)?” It was right then that it hit me.  I answered her, giving her a life lesson on men. “Men do not grow anymore in maturity past the age of 13.   After that they all continue on at the same level.”

Think about it. Men grow up and still think it is hilarious to fart on or near someone. They tell corny jokes that make absolutely no sense, but they all laugh.  They like to fight and wrestle.  When was the last time you seen women pull out some Barbies to play?  Give a guy a remote control Rock Crawler and it’s on!  Fart Tag anyone? They always talk about their balls. You don’t see the girls talking about how low our boobs have been hanging lately.

So there you have it. All men are 13 year olds.

We love y’all though!

  4. This is so the truth.If it wasn’t the Tiger Balm that my hubby puts on his back and makes him smell like a old man, I would think he was 13. They way he gets on his video games and is cussing and talking about his balls! Yup he made me so mad one day , I was sitting here listening to him on his game and I old him that he sounds like he is 13, He turned to me and said” No Dear 14″

      HA! Lisa, does he yell at the TV? I think it is so funny when they are watching the news or sports and they arguing and yelling at the people on the TV. Stepping up to it like the want to fight.

  5. LMAO yes it’s true. My Dad LOVED to fart on people. At 60 years old. his favorite thing was letting an SBD go in a department store. He also loved to put my mother in a dutch oven. Yeah, my big bro and I thought Mom was going to kill him that night. Literally.

    I married a man with farts so foul, they could raise the dead and send them running for fresh air. Yes, the word “man” only refers to chronological years, not maturity level.

    I find this article very demeaning towards men. LOL. Ok I guess I don’t because I play the fart game with my kids. Sorry, I can’t help it.

    • Brandy says:

      HA! My brother used to tell me…”Hey Brandy, wanna play fart tag?” I would run for my life and he would always get me! Y’all are warped!

    I call it MANpause in my house. Stupid stupid.

  9. I must be the oddest man out there. I don’t even like WRITING the word fart (cringing as I do it for the sake of my comment) and I wouldn’t dream of playing tag or chasing people around with one. Gross!

    I won’t dispute that I probably have the maturity of a 13 year old and tell corny jokes but I have yet to talk smack about my peppers. I’ve also never been in a fight, although I’ll wrestle with my kiddos, and I think beer is swill.

    I never thought I was in the minority as far as a “guy’s guy” goes but I just might be! :)

    Darn it – I thought they stopped maturing at 15….but, you’re right…those 2 extra years are a stretch. Hey, I have a 26 year old & a 56 year old. So, when I ADD them together they = 15 – THAT must be where I got the number from.
