Lets Hear It for the Boy[s]!

Sometimes. . .

I think we girls are a little harsh on those who make up the population of the male sex.  I am not sure if that's a function of all boys being jerks excluding only those that surround me, or if girls are just a little ridiculous.  Me?  I tend to think it's the latter.  The vast majority of all boys I have the opportunity to interact with are right, swell fellows, and I hereby offer my recognition and gratitude to them for gracing my existence with their presence.  After all, they have some mighty fine qualities about them:

1.  They seem to possess a never-ending capacity for goofiness.  I mean, really.  No girl would ever come up with this:

P.S. If the full-screen doesn't work, just click on the YouTube link at the top of it. :)

           And seriously!  How awesome is that?

2.  They are good, honest souls.  I have very seldom found superficiality in a male.

3.  They entertain me all the day long.  With things like this or this:

or this:

or this:

or perhaps this:

or maybe this:

or who could ever forget the time we laughed for HOURS at this:

Let's just say, they're never lacking for entertainment, okay?

4.  How about these little treasures from Overheard @ BYU?:

"Relief Society has a feel good moment?  We should have that in priesthood!  Manly moment: 'I fixed my car yesterday while killing a bear AND giving a woman a blessing.'"

Hahahahaha! :P  I believe that is a veeeeery good idea.  Or how about...

Boy: *whips out calculator* Can I calculate something for you?

Girl:  Okay....?

Boy: I'm going to calculate your chances of being happy forever.

Girl:  ......

Boy: *turns on calculator* what's your phone number???

Hehehe :)  I don't care who you are or what you look like.   That's awesome. :D

5.  How many guys do you know that are an emotional basket-case all the time?  I'll wager you know many more girls that fill that bill.  My man-friends make me laugh.  Without fail.  Sometimes, when I'm having a rough day, I really don't want to talk about it.  Who do I go to?  A boy because, quite frankly, they don't usually wanna talk about it either!  But they're very good at getting my mind off of things. :D
P.S.  Watch this.  It's long, but hilarious, and it explains a lot:

6.  Most of my best friends in this whole-wide-world (not including my awesome and attractive family) are boys.  I guess this does include my three closest cousins, and about six "brothers."  They, all of them, talk to me lots, make sure I'm dandy, and say something to the effect of, "I love you, Sis!" on a very regular basis. Needless to say, these guys are champs, and they have one proud "sister!"   :D  They're some of the kindest, most wonderful people I know.  They take good care of me. :)

7.They're nerds.  It's an endearing term, I promise!  Just a few nerdy things I have come to enjoy (due to the influence of guys): Ninja-Turtles (Leonardo, in particular), Decepticon, MST3K, Kung Pow, watching Zelda and Portal 2, music/science/history/math/grammar/dumb-pun jokes, VVFS, Rejected Cartoons, Monty Python, and other such nonsense.  "How neat is that?!"

8.  They do like to show-off sometimes, and I don't mind one bit.  My cousins wanna show me they can cook?  Fine with me!...as long as I get to try it. :)

  My "brothers" wanna serenade everyone with guitars and voices?  I'm sooooo down with that because, lets be honest.  They sound gooooooOOOOOd.  They can show-off if they want to.  I'm impressed. :)

9.  They know how to have FUN!!!  They're game for adventure!  They'll be goofy and splendid, and many wonderful memories have been made this way.... :)

10.  They're straightforward, and they don't change with the weather.  If they wanna spend time with you, they'll make time.  If I tease them, they tease back.  If they say something sweet, they mean it.  They don't just fish around for words to try to be nice.

11.  They do manly things! I don't know if you noticed, but which picture is more attractive?

Of course!  The one where he looks most manly.  Why?  Because it's awesome.  That's why.  They're just so cool when they get together to watch football, or when they're driving tractor or workin' hard, or when they hold the door for girls.  They wear suits.  They're especially handsome when they sing.  Girls, they're the reason we feel like girls.  They work hard and play hard.  They're champs. Fo' sho'!

12.  Last, but definitely not least, most of the guys that have influenced my life for the better are real, true, solid, honest-to-goodness men.  A great many of them, though not all, are worthy holders of God's priesthood.  How wonderful is that?  All of them have helped me see my value as a daughter of God.  I could not ask for a greater gift from them.  So many of them--family and friends, old and young, Mormon and non-Mormon alike--are great blessings and wonderful examples.  They are honestly trying their hardest to be who they should be:

I, for one, think they're pretty awesome, and I thank all of them for blessing my life and letting me love them.
