“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.

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.

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.

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

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

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