Last summer, my husband and I were having coffee out on our raised deck. We looked over, to see our neighbor's six-year-old boy taking a pee off of HIS raised deck (we both have walk-out basements, so the decks are off the main floor, which is a second floor above ground level!). He was ENTHRALLED with the process, and was clearly trying to pee as far away as possible.
My hubby said "We SEE you!". After which our little neighbor turned bright red, packed it away, and ran inside.
We didn't tell the parents about this, as hey, boys will be boys, but we haven't seen that behavior since!!!
The most mortifying thing my son did is now a HUGE joke for the family. He had just transferred into a new school, with computers at every desk and internet access. Since the facility was new they hadn't installed all the firewalls and since my son was new (he started the year late) he hadn't made any friends. Sitting there bored, he decided to see what would happen if he typed B*TCH in between www and .com. Of course a porn site popped up and when he went to close it, well the pop-ups got 'em. The principal DID call me on that one and I was SO humiliated. We had worked so hard to get him in and he did this on his third day at school.
LOL last week my food coop was doing meal exchange at my house and one of the little boys just pulled down his pants and went in my front lawn. The bad part was trying to keep the other kids from PLAYING in that part of the yard.
ROFL! I've been explaining to my hubby, father of one, what we're liable to face later on. He doesn't believe me on some of it. I've raised one daughter though, so know how it goes. Yet hubby, being a boy once himself...long long ago in a land far far away...When I read this to him, his only word was...

All I can say is A LOT of us guys just can't leave it alone! and we learn to "experience" it at an early age! For example ~
Last year Angie came home, from teaching her 6th grade class, just busting up. I guess a group of 6th graders were in the middle of the school yard, in a circle, "sizing" up . Usually it's the BIG guys that start it!
Around our house with me, my son, my nephew, brothers and brother in law hanging out...someone always has their hands down their pants. Angie is always yelling at us "Just ONCE I want to see ALL of your hands!!"
I remember staying home from school in 6th grade..."cough-cough" to sneak peeks at dad's Playboys. He worked all day and mom worked the school cafeteria cash register...had a "free" 3 hours!
My friend got called to his son's principal a few years ago, seems his 5th grader got caught with dad's Playboy...but blamed it on another boy...who's parents showed up too! Was he ever embarassed!
When my son was about 3 and a half he went with me to check on a job. Now the street we had to go on is wide and a little hilly, we used to "race" up and down it from time to time when we were younger 'cause you could get a little air-borne without going to fast. Well, I was taking it safe...but a little quick...hit the one rise in the road where the bottom drops out, my son says to me "Whoa daddy, my weiner popped out!" I just smiled and said "Mine too." My son is almost 26 now, when I tell the story he just says that the hill still does it to him!
I guess the point I am trying to make is to us guys it's normal...and you gals just wouldn't understand!
BUT ~ I think the teacher NOT making a big deal about it was a good thing ~ BUT, I think she should have told the parents right away!
When I was 7, my cats stopped using the litter pan and we couldn't figure out why. Turns out my brother and his best friend, both aged 5, were peeing in the litter pan.
Once the boys were evicted, the cats went back to the litter pan.
My son when he was 13 told me one night "I have a date tonite". I replied to him that he wasn't old enough to date. He then said it's with "Palmela and her 5 friends". I didn't know what he was talking about but my DH cracked up and explained it to me later. LOL. (not exactly something a mother wants to know).
My son (age 7 at the time) came home one day and told me that friend of his (age 8) had a condom that he had stolen from someone else. He was curious to know what it looked like because of course, his friends' was in the package. I got one out and showed it to DS, and also unrolled it. He looked at it with huge eyes and said "I'll NEVER be able to fit one of those."
It took every muscle I had not to burst out laughing.
Tiki, that would have been hard not to laugh. LOL. I can still remember going with my son to get his first ever Jock Strap and Cup for 4 th grade football. He just looked at it and said "that won't even cover the top of it". LOL, he's always been very PROUD.
"Boys are born with their best friend". LOL, that pretty much sums it up.
Last year I was working in a kindergarten class... and a table of boys decided to compare sizes-there were 4 or 5 of them taking turns looking under the table at each other... thankfully, no little girls were at the table to get in on it... boy...can you imagine explaining that one to parents?? Little Susie goes home from school and says "Johnny's ___________ is bigger than Joe's, Bobby's and Mark's?? LOL
