Little Boys and Big Boys


My youngest grandson, at two, loves to play with trains and blocks. Tonight, I gave him a small wooden horse to carry around and he kept saying "Horse jump table." Apparently, this is something he saw at the State Fair recently.


His big brother, at four, eats like a bird, and I thought I wouldn't find anything he'd like until he found some "healthy" chips. Those he liked.

Their two big teenage uncles came over to play with these guys during an impromptu family gathering this cold, Wednesday night in SF. Big guys and little guys. Guys of all types and sizes, but guys for sure.

Pizza, carrots, soda, sports talk, music talk, school talk, girl talk. Lots of chatter. Maybe males do talk as much as females, but only once we have gathered in sufficient numbers to set the tone. My poor daughter, Mom of these two beautiful little boys, was the one female among six males, including her husband.

But she's used to it, and with a third boy growing inside her, by later this fall she'll be the mother of a hat trick of boys. I see a lot of soccer games in her future!
