Men
I have come to the conclusion that men never really completely mature. I think they get about 3/4 of the way there and then stop. That leaves 1/4 of their maturity level for the 10yr old boy that lives inside of them to play. Here is a great example of what I am talking about. Frog bowls in the church bowling league. Last week was their last night so the whole family goes for support. He mentions to his friends Turtle and Bear that he needs to get some practice in before the church golf league starts up in a few weeks. Turtles eyes lit up like the Griswalds house on Christmas morning. They then get a tentative plan to golf the following Tuesday (tomorrow). Well, as luck would have it we are getting a heck of a storm and its not going anywhere. I thought Turtle was going to cry. Fear not friends for the boys prevailed. He calls Frog on his cell phone with an idea. Frog missed the call and called Turtle back. Turtle was not in a zone to receive calls so Frog left a message. I think at this point they were starting to sweat it a little. So Frog is bathing the tiny Princess when his cell phone rings. He calls out excitedly " I bet its Turtle". After he gets the princesses all squared away he jets downstairs to his phone to check. I walk into the room he is in and sure enough there was a message from Turtle. Frog hangs up the phone and says "Guess what. We are going virtual golfing!!" He then proceed to explain to me how this works as if I need to know all the details for my next virtual golf extravaganza. I humor Frog and listen to his story and assure him that I will make sure he is up in time to go pick up Turtle (the alarm clock falls into the 10yr old boy category. That is another post all in itself). Think the story ends there? Not quite. I pick up my cell phone and see that I have an email. Curious I open it up. Guess who its from? Yep Turtle emailed me to make sure Frog got his message from earlier. No joke. So now I must go so I can write Frogs name and number in the back of his jacket in case they all get separated. Ta Ta For Now!
