• Gossip Boys

  In my (almost) 28 years of existence, I have not learned much about men.  I wish I could say differently, but I can't!  In movies and television shows, there's a stereotype that men just can't understand women and what they want.  I feel the same way about men:
  -Why do you pee with the seat up?  It's not necessary and it makes a mess.
  -Why do you like to sleep so much?
  -Beer is gross, why do you like it?
  -Why do you say you'll call when you won't? 
  -What's the fascination with boobs?

  All of these things, I'm pretty sure, will always be a mystery to me.  But there's one thing I have learned, mostly from hanging out with my husband with his friends:  MEN GOSSIP!
  In fact, they gossip almost as much as women.  It's amazing.  And when I wasn't dating men seriously, I would have never guessed it.  But when they get together in groups, they gossip just like us girls.  They may be more low key about it, but they love rumors, and to spread news. 
  When Bri gets on the phone with someone from his hometown, he immediately starts dishing the latest on who's hooking up with who, who's impregnated someone, who got into a fight with someone else, etc. 
  So from now one, I'm not going to feel the slightest bit guilty when I get a juicy piece of gossip.  Because now I know, everyone does it!  And I'll be more than happy to share it with my husband.
