Living In The Club House

My boys are growing up!

The boys are getting to the age that they are asking a lot of questions about girls, here is an example from both of them. I don't always have the right answer, but I hope somehow that I am pointing them in the right direction. Any suggestions, please leave a comment for me.

Topher who is 15, turns 16 in September (and can't wait) so he can drive and go out with girls.

Topher: Mom how can I be a womanizer?
Me: Gulp! describe "womanizer"
Topher: Someone who has girls around them all the time.
Me: Well, you might want to start off with having one girl around you first, at your age, your nerves get out of wack! and don't know their left from their right, besides girls are a lot of work and can cause you plenty of grief.
Topher: My nerves are fine!
Me: Yea, ok, well lets start with your baggy pants, their too big on you.
Topher: I like my pants baggy!
Me: (thinking) ok, were not going to get very far on this topic. Hey Topher, what do you want for dinner?
Topher: I don't know, what do you want?
Me: Pizza
Topher: Ok!

Austin who is 13, turn 14 in a few days asked me:

Austin: Mom, why is it that when I want to talk to girls, my ears burn, my face gets hot and I cant get words out of my mouth right.
Me: Well Austin, that's normal, when boys start talking to girls in a more serious way, it's ok, most boys and sometimes men have the same problem at sometime or another.....
Austin: Well, I don't like it!
Me: (big smile on my face) I'ts ok, it will get better, promise
