Why boys spit
May 11th, 2008 | By Chuck | Category: Papa PrattleOur neighbors recently added a beautiful new baby girl to their family. These neighbors have turned into really good friends as their kids are only 6 months older than our girls. The kids are the best of friends.
In an effort to help with the busyness that occurs around a new baby my wife offered to take their three year old son to gymnastics since our daughter is in the same class. The families usually carpool anyway.
According to my wife the whole class was a bit off and the kids were just acting all goofy. The instructor apparently ended up chasing and tickling the kids in an effort to work it out of them. I’m guessing she doesn’t have children.
The return trip was just as goofy. At one point it seems that one child spat on the other which of course set off a competition. My wife was quick to discipline our daughter who immediately replied with (you guessed it) “He was spitting too!”
My wife explained that he wasn’t her child to discipline but was sure he knew better than to be spitting, to which the boy replied,
“Girls and boys do different things. Girls can’t spit, but boys can.”
Well, I guess that clears that one up. Now we know why boys spit.

That’s kinda what I thought. Always good to hear from you. I hope this finds you and ET gaining some life momentum again.
Good thing your daughter didn’t choose to view his reply as a challenge and hock up a good one on him. Truly, though - I never had to concern myself with kids spitting until I had a son of my own.

It’s funny what a boy brings to the table isn’t it (literally and figuratively)?
I do remember as a kid having spitting contests - length, thickness, ability to hang suspended from things. Seemed fun at the time, but I don’t ever remember any girls playing this game with us, not that we excluded them

I recall being pretty fond of spitting myself. Maybe the kid was right.
I am learning day by day what boys bring to the table.. (two little boys one big boy and one me.. makes life fun..ahahaha)

I don’t think anyone would argue that you have your work cut out for you. It’s tough enough training children let alone a husband.
That makes it clear as mud… thanks for passing on the pearl of wisdom. HA!
ha… clear as mud. I love that expression, use it all the time.
