BOYS!!!!

What is it about boys that make them such gross creatures? I think this is a mystery that will plague me until the next life. It seems that as soon as you get more that two of them together they need to have some sort of contest that deals with their bodily functions. Example:

Yesterday JEH had a birthday party at his very best friends house. It was a small party about 5 of them total, all boys. So when I come back to pick him up this is the conversation that was had:

JEH(looking pale)-I drank way too much pop.

Me- well you can do that at a party sometimes you just have to be careful and use your brain.

JEH(excited)- no we had to drink a ton because we had a burping contest.

Me-oh, fun

JEH-I drank five glasses of root beer really fast and then went all the way upstairs to see if they could hear me in the kitchen. (which was in the back part of this house and the stairs in the front)

Me- so how did you do?

JEH(very pleased)- I was the loudest. I'm the only one that they could hear from upstairs. It was soooooooo cool!

Now if those were little girls burping would never have come up. So why is it with boys it is the inevitable? By the way I had no doubt that JEH would win He has had quite the burp from the day he was born. He would shock us every time. Boys just must be born gross. It is the only explanation I can come up with.
