Boys don't cry. Seriously, they don't. Ever.

Real boys, that is, real men, avoid tears like they avoid conversations about menstruation, unless they are watching

"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition."

There's really nothing nowadays that plucks those heartstrings like that Ty Something-or-Other screaming at a destitute family of nine as they bellow and wail over the gift of a new home - complete with racecar beds and robotic TV stands. (1) comment

'Fighting Insanity'
Adults just don't understand

'Fighting Insanity'<br>Adults just don't understand

Many businesses located near schools have signs on their doors posting rules that limit how many minors can be inside at a time or that require them to be accompanied by an adult.

On Saturday, I found a place that is the other way around.

Outside of San Francisco City Hall and across the street from the public library is a small playground, complete with monkey bars, a slide and a multi-colored, four-foot fence surrounding the jungle gym.

On the fence is a sign: "No adults allowed unless accompanied by children." (1) comment
