I have always wanted sons. Even when I was a little girl, I remember telling my mom that I wanted to have nothing but boys in my house.

I just think little boys are the cutest things. Besides, as girlie as I am…..I am a tomboy at heart. Growing up, I lived in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. My long hair stayed in a ponytail. I would wear a baseball cap and some sneakers forsaking all other items of clothing every single day. As I got older, my appreciation grew for pretty dresses and shoes like a fine wine…..it had to sit and marinate. LOL

I am taking Tali 1 to see the Hu.lk this weekend. We had one of Mr. 1969’s friends over this past weekend. Why did we get into a huge debate about which superhero movie was the best? We both loved Ir.on.man, Spi.der.man, Bat.man Re.tu.rns and the X.men series. Then I got into a debate about the X.me.n vs Fa.nta.stic Fo.ur vs The Av.en.gers.  **crickets** My own husband just looked at me in awe and his friend declared me the greatest wife ever.

I can’t tell you how many times I have gotten into a football debate with some guy only to have to shut him down with stats. My husband usually just laughs and says…..”Bruh, you don’t want to go there with my wife. She is a real sports fan. For real.”

So I guess, having boys was a natural extension for me. I was the only granddaughter amidst ten male cousins. As a mom, I find myself sharing all of the comic book characters and story plotlines with my oldest. Hell, I even  watch the Po.wer R.an.ger Turbo movies with him. I know all of the aliens that Be.n 10 can turn into. I know all about spaceships, insects, dinosaurs and the wooshy finger hold.

Sometimes, I wonder what folks would say if they knew that the refined looking lady walking down the street in her power suit could debate for hours about who the best runningbacks in the league are and then whip up a batch of brownies?

I guess that’s the beauty of being a girl. We can do everything.
