That was the headline on my Page A Day Calendar yesterday. Can I tell you how much I laughed just at reading that. Then I thought of my nineteen year old cousin, Julie, and her nine year old brother.
We were visiting with my aunt earlier this week and the kids had been playing outside all evening, eventually my aunt brought hers in so they could shower and get ready for school the following morning.
Julie was at the stove when her nine year old brother walked by, in his boxers. body still dripping from the shower. She said to him That shower was TOO quick and your hair is dry I bet you didn’t even wash your hair did you, pig? Defensively he spoke up Yes I did you don’t know! Not believing him she said Come here let me smell your hair. He went to her, she smelled it and was satisfied that he did wash his hair. Seeing water still dripping from his body she said Did you even dry your balls? Come here Sam! At this point I was walking through the kitchen. I stopped, turned and asked her Why are you going to smell them too?
She didn’t and had no plans to check if his balls were wet, dry, clean or still sweaty. Thankfully.
Oh yeah, and in case you’re wondering why it hurts to get kicked in the balls, its because when the testicle’s are developing they develop in the abdomen and then descend before birth. The nerves and blood vessels are still attached and that’s why you feel a kick to the balls in the pit of your stomach.
Sissy. Getting kicked in the nuts once is NOTHING compared to PMS or birth. That’s all I’ve got to say about that.

Very interesting. Hmm. I’ll have to remember that but I still feel like that you are right about PMS and child birth.

Well now….I’ve learned something new today. Interesting, I didn’t know why it hurts in the stomach.

I agree that boys need to suck it up. PMS lasts longer than the pain of getting kicked in the balls.

I agree! Get kicked in the balls about 3 times in a row and them we’ll talk:) Until then? Stop whining.

Well, I disagree about the PMS/Childbirth opinion.
Men’s bodies weren’t designed to adapt to… or tolerate… a kick in the testicles.
Women’s bodies… however, WERE designed to adapt to… and/or tolerate– both childbirth, and PMS.

I agree, girls. I’m a guy and I’ve been kicked in the balls many times. True, it does hurt, but it’s not the kind of pain that most guys make it out to be.
