The Maturity of Men

Sunday, October 18th, 2009



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!
