“Dad, how come there are only boys on the Science of Stupid?” This TV show has been amusing my daughters and I for awhile with the ridiculous things people attempt for fun, inflicting themselves with massive amounts of pain, and Katie finally noticed a pattern. It was mostly the male population we were watching. “Well Katie, when you get a bunch of guys together they tend to think AFTER they attempt something stupid.” “Why?” Katie said “I don’t really know” I responded.. At our small group last night we were laughing about how many ridiculous ways we tempted death when we were younger and I still don’t really know the answer to that. We finally concluded that it might have something to do with being kicked out of the house most days because there was nothing to do inside except drive mom crazy. Every kid has an electronic device now and is absorbed with playing games etc, which keeps them quiet and relatively safe. But when we were young we had two decent channels on our TV with the giant antenna strapped to the side of our house, and one other channel you could see if the wind was just right or the stars aligned. There were no children’s channels either, so we got kicked outside. The outside world was one of adventure and danger, but every kid on the block was in on it. I remember the neighbourhood garden raids when we were hungry and the jumps we used to make for our bikes. I remember being scuffed up often and getting in the odd fight picking baseball teams. And I remember having a whole lot of fun..." VERY interesting, and short, read. Why do boys do what they do? Part of the answer may be found here. So, what do you think? M. "The days, those were!
