We've all heard that most men are just little boys, and will ALWAYS be little boys..... my wife tells me that all the time. (Usually because I'm tattling on Honey Bear, or wanting extra dessert, or playing what I think is some great music through the card board tube when I empty the paper towel roll... need I go on.)
Anyway, I saw a great example of this phenomenon at the airport yesterday. I was riding the tram from the terminal to the airside. I was watching the 5-8 people get on as the doors closed. The lovely ladies voice reminded us to hold on to the pole as we pulled away, as it is not safe and we would probably fall....
So what happens..... the ladies all reached out and grabbed the poles to steady themselves as the tram took off. However, EVERY man chose NOT to hang on to the pole, but braced their bodies to compensate for the take off! One man was actually holding the pole, and when the lady told us to hang on, took his hand OFF!
You see, men love a physical challenge, not to mention making a game out of anything they can. A lady uses wisdom and chooses to safely make it to airside without a busted lip. A guy throws caution to the wind to prove that they can stay up during this challenging ride....risking physical harm and an embarassing fall just to prove he can do it. Or at least try, and set a new time record before grabbing the pole...
What can I say.... long live the little boys in each of us!
