Boys


I don't braid hair into pigtails.
I don't have frilly dresses hanging in the closets.
There are no baby dolls or tea sets.

I have boys.

I have dirt.
I know hammers and nails.
I build bike jumps.
I know what "cool" shirts are and how those are different than the "handsome" ones.
I know Bey Blades, Power Rangers, and Captain America.
I know rough housing and wrestling.
I know that food is consumed faster than I can prepare it.

I know boys.
I love boys.

Someday maybe God will bless me with a girl.
The only reason I want a girl is because of the relationship I have with my mom.
If God only gave me boys, life would still be sweet.
