Sin off from " teen thugs who hurled a rock from overpass " thread,

What do you think of when you hear the expression,

 

"Boys will be boys"?

I think it's fine--as long as it doesn't seriously hurt someone or damage their property.

I think of little boys playing with toy cars and toy guns and mud and frogs, that kind of thing.
I don't think this expression should be applied to any other kind of behavior.

I was standing near a sheriff's deputy once when he was told that his nephew ...

and 3 teammates ...

had gang-raped a cheerleader.

 

And been arrested.

Know what his reaction was?

Yep.

Meh.  Depends on what it is.  Boys like to roughhouse.  Mostly they like to "sort it out" for themselves.  I'm not advocating letting bullying go on--but getting between two brothers or friends when they "fight" isn't usually the way to go.

I think it has its place.

But it doesn't just apply to boys.

I have thought it when I hear my boys talking when they think no one else is listening.

Or when doing the wash and find a Lego or car or dinosaur in the washer.

But what do you say when it's your daughter in the tree with the dog?

 I know you are joking, but unfortunately, many in society have that view.  We aren't raising men, anymore.  We are trying to raise slightly masculine women.

The saying is cute when it involves playing with bugs,frogs, playing in dirt and other boyish stuff. Not funny and ignorant when used as a excuse for breaking the law and disrespectful by lazy parents/adults.

Boys are going to pick up a stick and pretend it is a sword or a gun. And, no matter how much the Left wants to pretend that boys and girls are the same, they are not. Doesn't mean there aren't girls who do that do, but in general I think that is what we all observe.

So true, if you take away the toy guns they will use their fingers.

 Yes.  But at least no nerf bullets come out of their fingers to hit my dogs!

My brother made me a rubber band gun out of a broken broomstick. I knew better then to even aim it at someone/or animal with it. I had fun shooting trees and cans etc..

Jesse shot his nerf at something he wasn't supposed to one time. He was reprimanded and never did it again.

The thing that seemed hard to get in any of their heads was slinging things.

Yoyos were the worst.

Don't know why slinging a yoyo is so much fun.
