Braving Boys

Scary boys, Halloween 2008

Here’s to all the moms out there who are braving boys — the moms with more testosterone in their houses than I have, the ones with three, four or more boys simultaneously running them ragged and filling them with joy, moms like my very best friend Kim, who gave birth two weeks ago to twin boys (that makes four for Kim: one girl and three boys). For every word I write and story I tell here on this site, I honor those whose jobs are bigger than mine.

Are you a mom with a house full of boys? Tell me a brave story, and I’ll share it here.
