Clearly you've been in fandom too long when you're watching a show on Animal Planet about deserts, for heaven's sake, and you hear the phrase, "the cacti are dripping with dew"...

...and all you can think of is genderswap fic.

*facepalm*

hahahaha!

Sorry... That's really funny! *g*

NOW imagine it with your 14yr old son sitting beside you. :P

And now we've moved on to watching Ibex knocking heads over females, and Matthew announces "I'm glad we (meaning human boys, I guess) don't fight over girls like that."

Cue me snorting, and him being all indignant about it. *g* "What, we don't!" He says. When I tell him that all guys do stupid stuff like that, regardless of species, he says "I'm not a MAN yet", and I told him it's a testosterone thing and he'd get there some day.

He's still huffing indignantly *g*

C gets that way, all indignant and embarrassed, when I mention that the Puberty Fairy is coming for him soon.

(And then I'll catch him checking his height against the doorframe where we mark it. *g*)

Ah, parenting.

[mickeym.livejournal.com]

Well, the Puberty Fairy has definitely already made a visit to our house (Matthew's voice dropped, AGAIN, oi, and we're not going to talk about how he's now nearly four inches taller than me), but for whatever reason, he thinks human boys/guys/whatever are immune to the surges of testosterone.

WHATEVER, KID. *g*

Parenting. It's not just a job, it's an adventure...

I love your icon!

(oh! do you need me to burn you S4 of SPN? Did I do the first half, or do you need all of it?)

[taselby.livejournal.com]

We had to get off the SPN bandwagon. After some of the gender issues in S3 (I couldn't even finish S3) I had to stop.

None of my kids are taller than me yet, which is good. I'm not looking forward to the day I have to look *up* to give C (and P) what for. Both C & P will be taller than me.

C is starting to make slightly pervy jokes, but not in my presence. He's got Mim alternately freaked out and cracking up (she says the jokes are good), and C was rendered speechless by a beautiful woman on a TV show (Sarah from Chuck -- do you watch Chuck?) in a slinky red evening gown. She's gorgeous, and they spend a fair amount of camera time on how beautiful she is, but usually she's in something cute or subdued/functional. C really admires the character -- smart, kick-butt, and usually the one doing the rescuing.

So yeah, the puberty fairy has at least got C pencilled in on the calendar.

I've heard of that comm *g* Never visited it, though. There's enough BADNESS in my head as it is :P

[hunters-retreat.livejournal.com]

OMG! I love you even more for this post :P

And yes.... I do it all the time... hear some completely innocent thing and go 'huh... I could so use that line!' :P

[mickeym.livejournal.com]

I've long since stopped being surprised when I see ads for "watersports!" or other seemingly innocuous things. But that last night? Completely surprised me *g* I almost said something outloud, and caught myself in time.

Because there are just some things that don't need to be said in front of the kid (mostly since it would just mean I would then have to EXPLAIN IT OMG).
