Boys

What's up with teenage boys? I'm sitting in my husband's biology class right now. He took the morning off to take our daughter to the doctor and his substitute didn't show, so guess who the go-to-girl is. That's right, the Fine Arts-teaching wife. Anyway, I'm watching these sophomores as they work and there's a reason that the word meaning immature is "sophomoric." Not junioric. Not senioric. But sophomoric. Really, though, the class is behaving very well, except for two embarrassingly immature boys. They have not done one thing except touch each other. The whole hour. In various manners. Ummm....Okay. Why is that such a teenage boy thing? Touching. I know they're going through an awkward phase, bless their smelly, unshowered, undeodorized hearts. But c'mon. Do they really believe that the girls are going to think acting like a 4-year-old is HOT? In the words of Cher Horowitz regarding her generation of baggy-pantsed boys, AS IF! I mean, seriously, all you have to do is watch the new 90210. Who's the hottest? Not the guys running around acting childish No. It's the quiet, mysterious guy. You know, the one who acts like A MAN!!!!! One of these days these boys will grow up, but why are they so blind at this age? Oh yeah, blindness-teenage boys-I just got it!
