Boy

Son dont cry. Wipe that dirt off yourself, and be a man. If something bothers you, suck it up. If you get hurt, suck it up. Learn to take a punch, and learn to throw one. Stand up for yourself. Work hard and do everything right the first time, then you wont have to do it a second. Go get the weed eater, cut some grass. Take the pickup in? ha. You can change the oil yourself. Learn to aim and shoot that gun, your gutting the buck afterwords. You put it on your dinner plate, you can eat it all. Pull your pants up, and turn your hat straight, you arnt no hooligan. Show your mother respect, and treat every girl like you would treat your mom. Open the door for your girl, listen to her when she talks, comfort her when she needs you. Dont be a boy. Be a man. "yes sir", says the son.

  2. It must be so confusing for boys to hear conflicting advice about emotions. On one hand, they are supposed to "suck it up." On the other hand, they are supposed to comfort girls!
