Boys Don't Cry



We don't. It's a fact. Haven't you been told it a thousand times?

Boys are tough and stoic. We build shelves, drive fast and make deals in giant, monolithic office buildings, whilst smoking cigars.

Girls, on the other hand, cry at sad films, puppies, small children, bee stings, cold days and everything in between. They even cry when they're happy, which is just inexplicable.

Girls do the housework, they take the kids to school, they cook a nice roast dinner for their tired husband as he walks wearily through the door from a hard day's work. They wear pretty dresses and say pretty things and never do anything rude.

Boys hold doors open for the girl. They buy her flowers when she cries which, as we discussed, is quite a lot. They tell her she is beautiful and she blushes and life goes on perfectly.

Criminals are always caught and always fit into a nice, easy 'evil' label. Everybody else is honest and decent and law abiding.

Nothing bad ever happens. People don't hate each other. Everyone dies peacefully, old and in their sleep.

Something like that, right?

:P

this little boy is so cute, i could just cry looking at him! hehe just going along with you :)-

no but first i wanted to say thanks for your incouragement! its hard being a photographer eh? it seems you always compare your photos to others.

anyways, i like your post. if i may add i think its just the way god wired us, "male" and "female". Girls are just the more sensitive. But it scares me when i guy thinks its wrong to cry. Ive always thought its healing when you can.

blah blah blah sorry about all this. alright then. cheers.
