Boy: Mom. do woman understand everything about boys?
Me: Well, we do understand SOME things about boys, but not everything. Like we don't understand why you like The Three Stooges so much.
Boy: Oh. Well, I think the thing women really don't understand is that we just LIKE guns and fighting.
Me: Yes, you're right, I don't understand.
I thought that was very insightful for an 8 year old with Aspergers. I expect it was brought on by several years of his mother sighing and saying things like "you wouldn't want to kill a REAL person with that light saber right?" to which I would receive an eye roll and a disgusted "Mommmm, light sabers aren't real you know!"
Which really isn't all that reassuring when you think about it.

ReplyDeleteI love it! And I don't understand the 'boys and fighting' love affair either.
