I have to use the word "God" to express the following thought (which might be too optimistic for the Pit) but here goes:
I believe God gave me a family of boys on purpose. I would not have enlarged my sympathies with girls.
I was always a girl's girl -- my friends were girls, I was closer to the female authority figures in my family (and actively disliked them men!), I was never the type to have guy friends.
A few vacations the past few years have been with my aging uncle (who I never understood) my husband, my stepson, and my son.
I just had to get used to fart jokes, the way they throw each other around, footprints on the walls, stitches in chins, frogs in the pockets, and all the rest. I learned not give give subtle hints because they go unnoticed. (I know there are girls like this too. One of the girls on my son's little league team is the fiercest player of all, but my friends were always girly.)
Also, I get it now. (Sorry Steve!! Really, I believe the male of the species is a simpler creature in many ways.) If I would have known my son and stepson before I started dating, it would have all been a lot easier.
