How to Deal with Boys

The main difference between boys and girls is that boys like doing things - driving cars, playing football, throwing stuff, eating, farting, etc. - and girls like feeing things - love, friendship, excitement, happiness, etc. Boys are very physical; girls are very emotional.
Of course this is a gross generalisation, but it helps to remember that when you ask a boy 'How are you feeling?' he will probably answer 'Hungry' or 'Cold' and not 'Deliriously happy because I am with you'. To begin with this can be disappointing, but it can't really be helped, since expressing emotion comes as naturally to a boy as ballet does to an elephant.

Boys are often spoilt by their mothers so they have a tendency to think girls should do all the boring things in life, like cleaning, cooking and ironing their favourite T shirt, while they get to do all the exciting things, like jet-skiing, playing in rock bands and being spies.
Don't indulge this belief; the sooner they get re-educated the better.
