“The boy is father to the man”


Here are my two very favourite sons enjoying the afternoon sunshine in our living room.

Renowned sale vieux homme - and one-time collaborator with George Gershwin, Irving Berlin and the Vichy regime - Maurice Chevalier used to sing Thank Heaven for Little Girls.

What I want to know is, who do we have to thank for little boys?

Thank the x-chromosome of your wife and the y-chromosome of yours :-D. Or you can also thank the x-chromosome of yours since she refused to merge with the x-chromo of your wife and that's why you don't have any little girls. Ok, in another 5 years time.

Remercier Dieu pour les garçons. Je n'aime pas les filles. Ils sont de petites chiennes. Cela est mon opinion.
I love my boys.

Sue said...

Roddy...if you are reading this...Happy, happy, happy birthday!
Mwah, big brother! xoxox

Isn't it time to acknowledge Jesus' part in all this? If he didn't get nailed to something-or-other, there'd be no little boys, no almond Magnums, and no moustaches...

...or what KL said.

Roddy said...

Dogs and snails and puppy dogs tails, That's what little boys are made of.


I am reading this, as you may now be aware. Thank you Sue. A few more years and you will reach my milestone, however I will be somewhere else.

KL's explanation wins hands down! Lolz...

forgot to praise the photo which has two of my most favourite boys across the globe.

Abe Lincoln said...

I think it is a nice photo too.

I've always found that song by Maurice Chevalier a little bit pervy.

Sue said...

What? Are you moving, big brother?

Kitty said...

wow, they're growing quickly, I see, especially in the hair department.

oh to be a kid sitting on the floor!!

Kris said...

KL, we have a winner!

Kris said...

Sue, HOORAH!

Kris said...

Sue, Henry sang to him on the phone.

Kris said...

Me, poor old Jeebus. No respect.

Kris said...

Roddy, dead?

Kris said...

Priyanka, too right.

Kris said...

Priyanka, they are sweet.

Kris said...

Abe, thank you. I got lucky with the light.

Kris said...

Freefalling, he does indeed come across as a filthy old man. The whole collaboration with the Nazis thing also troubles me.

Kris said...

Sue, it sounds like he’s on the way out.

Kris said...

Kitty, I still enjoy sitting on the floor. The only risk here is that Henry will jump on top of you.
