Life with BOYS: Top 10

1. When you go out and buy a new toilet seat rather than have to clean the old one.

2. You turn a blind eye to the number of showers your teenage son has in a day. (Also see #3)

3. Your son brings you his sheets to wash every other day.

4. "We're just going to have a sandwich" results in an entire loaf of bread gone, an empty peanut butter container, and jam spilled all over the counter.

5. There's an instinctive shudder of dread when you're doing laundry and have to reach into the pants pockets before putting them in the wash. 

6. Dried snot on the walls no longer fazes you. 

7. You buy candles and air freshener by the bucketful, just to try to overpower the aroma of Eau de Boy Stench. 

8. You have learned your lesson about coming to investigate when your son yells from the bathroom, "Mom, come see!"

9. Milk and juice jugs are put back in the fridge with mere droplets left inside.

10. "If you don't clean your room, I'll do it for you" is a really great threat. Boys have secrets, don't you know.
