boys will be boys

one of the best sounds of the summer are crickets at night, morning doves and robins in the morning...and in the afternoon...the neighborhood kids.

tonight, with the windows open, i'm listening to the birds sing and basketballs hitting the asphalt...but what i just heard, i have to admit, kinda scares me a bit...

there are 2 middle school boys outside playing basketball. i was hearing the typical middle school boy banter when all of a sudden, one breaks out in song. the song was, beautiful by christina aguilera. song by a middle school boy. it was very strange.

i guess that people probably wondered about me when i used to stand on the deck while i was in middle school singing killing an arab by the cure...

never knowing what the song meant and in middle school, not understanding the ramifications of the song, i guess it never hit me what the lyrics were saying...but maybe my other fav. band, the ocean blue, would have been a better band to sing outdoors...ahh, to be back in middle school...that is one age group i do not miss!!
