Boys are stupid.

Throw rocks at them. Hahaha, no, seriously...I called home Sunday night and had the rare pleasure of getting to speak to The Wind. He's called so because he blows in and blows out of the house, but you usually never see him. Anyway, after an injunction to make it quick so he could get back to his Xbox 360 (apparently when I call the house from here the wireless internet disconnects), he told me this little story:

Animal is grounded again. Why you ask? Well, mostly it has to do with the hour or so he's at home by himself in the afternoon and my parents techno-tardedness. He gets home from school about 2:15PM every day. My father does not arrive until about 3. Animal's first order of business is to either eat something he's not supposed to (I'm not kidding. We have a combination lock on our kitchen pantry door.), or he'll jump on the computer. Since he's 17, he has a more than healthy interest in the female form shall we say. My parents don't know how to check past site visit history, and find a parental control program too much hassle with us all being older. This means Animal can do whatever he wants...Lately he decided that he'd try to be sneaky in his porn endeavors (which NEVER turns out well), and print out his favourite nude ladies, then hide the evidence in his pillowcase of all places, 'cause my mom never changes the sheets... (Shakes head.) Neeldless to say he got caught pretty quickly. As this was not his first offense of this nature (the last time he got caught with the pictures actually on the screen), he's lost computer privaleges for a while, and is receiving the requisite ribbing for stupidity from the rest of us.

I seriously don't know how my parents keep a straight face sometimes. If that had been me, I would have had to go in my room and laugh before being able to lay down the law. I'm sure they had a giggle about it later.

And so I say again. Boys are stupid.
