View Full Version : Are all boys crazy?
Ok, here is what just happened, I heard one thud after another upstairs in my girls room. I went to inspect what was going on and this is what I found, my 2 year old boy is climbing up onto their bunk beds and jumping onto their pillows in which he has placed on the floor. He did this 2 time before I went up there. This is also not the first time he has done this. We took the ladder off of the bed, which the girls don't care about, and he still climbs up the side of it jsut like they do. What is wrong with little boys? [Tooth] This is the same boy I posted pics of in the "teach your children well" thread that built his own little guns with no help. Anyone elses boys anything like this?
I tried to get our daughter to climb stuff at the play ground but she'd never do it.
Once I was big enough, I'd take the screen off my bedroom window, climb up on the roof and jump off.. It was fun, what can I say..

My older son had a blowup ball pit. He would stand on the edge of it and jump in. One time some balls spilled out onto the floor outside the pit, like 6-8 balls. I watched him stand on the edge on contemplate jumping onto the floor. I guess he decided 6-8 balls were enough to catch him because he went and landed right on his back.

Yes. Put him in Gymnastics. Then at least he'll learn how to do it right, have a safe place to practice and get it out of his system, and lower the chances of him hurting himself.

I can't keep mine from climbing, so little girls liketo jump off stuff as well.

I used to jump off of my bunk beds like that too, heh
I remember doing dumb things as a kid but I don't think I ever thought it might be a good idea to jump off of something that was four to five times taller then me. One of my girls liked to climb things when she figured out how to, but she would get scared when she got too far up on something. My other girl would just look up at her and then go back to playing with the rocks below.

My 19 month old god son does crazy stuff like that. He's not up to the top bunk yet but he has to sleep in a big kid bed now because he would climb his crib and jump out of it for fun. The big thud would scare the crap out of his parents. My 17 month old daughter is not showing any signs of wanting to jump off things but she loves to run and jump/fall onto pillows and doesn't even cry when she slams her head on things. Because she's so tough I think she might end up being rambunctious too when she is bigger.
Just wait till they reach puberty.

I broke more bones and did more stupid crazy stuff before puberty....
Afterwards I was too busy to jump cars with my Bike, was trying to jump Girls in the car!

We used to go to church at a place that is now the Salvation Army located at 120th and Washington. It's the anchor unit in the plaza, and although one floor, still pretty high. On the side of that building are some bricks that were built into the wall, but stick out about a half inch (decoration, I suppose). When my friend and I were about 6, we convinced our sisters (4) to follow us up onto the roof, climbing up flush against the wall. When people told our parents about what we were doing, my sister was heading back down but was still 3/4 of the way up. My dad was calm and collected and asked her how she was doing, to which she replied "fine." She made it down, but I bet my dad's heart was climbing up his esophagus at the time. I got my butt spanked big time, lol.
That's what I am refering too, and you do crazier shit to impress them.

We wouldn't have things like the NFL, NHL, Nascar, sky diving, the X games, etc. etc. etc. if boys didn't have the tendency to do crazy stuff. It's a god given trait. Better you found him jumping off the top bunk in his sister's room rather than playing with her dolls. ;)

I'd be more concerned if your boy was sitting quietly ... wearing clean, color coordinated neatly pressed clothing with his hair combed.
*shudder*
That wouldn't end well.
Well it would if he is a sports commentator.

No claim to expertise, but my boys are 20 and 18 yrs old. I always saw these things as "teachable moments." When they begin jumping off of high objects (almost all of them do), you must instruct them in the proper parachute landing fall (PLF) technique. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgpaOFAwF6U&feature=related
Childhood should be a fun way of learning to be a decent adult.

He jumps onto them like he is attacking them. He is a rough housing little son of a gun! At least I know if he keeps it up, he isn't going to be some little wussy as he gets older.

Sounds like a Special Ops trooper in the making.
My son was pretty mild growing up. It's now that he's 18 (19 in a few weeks) that I'm concerned about him.
Me, on the other hand.... the stories I could tell of the crazy stunts my friends and I used to pull (hanging each other from a tree along one of Kansas City's most major roads).
my daughter is 2 1/2, and she is balls to the walls 24/7, had her first set of stitches when she was 10 months, and has been back three more times. She used to scare the hell out of me, but now I think I am kinda getting used to it. Gotta another one on the way, about 5months out, and am of course hoping for a hellyan of a boy, just as crazy as her![Beer]

coward! jumping innocent girls with cars.[ROFL1]
I don't have kids but i was a pretty wild kid growing up. luckily we grew up on some property and that kept me out of trouble for the most part other than a lot of scrapes, broken things, couple broken bones etc. fights at school as well.
don't worry, girls go nuts in their teens. Honestly I want boys over girls. I know there is potential for more trouble with boys, more broken bones, more fights, etc etc. but I would prefer that over dealing with a teenage girl all the time. substitute teaching middle school has definitely taught me that.
I used to kick the crap out of my little brother as a kid. As a result, he is much tougher than I am. I never had anyone to beat me up.

When I was about 11-12 I got my first lesson in crime scene analysis.
Me, my brother and and some friends were F'ing around with a BB gun in our room on a rainy night and it "Accidently" fired into the window of the bedroom.
We all got together and made up this story of how "Someone" shot out the window while we were hanging out. Kinda like a Youth Drive By. Well we tried to convince my mom and dad of this and my mom called the police.........crap, it was all down hill from there!
The officer shows up, all wet from the rain, looks at the window and turn to us and says "That shot came from the INSIDE, I can tell by the direction of the glass breaking outwards". How could we have known, CSI was not around then!
WElllllllll you can pretty much figure how the rest of the night went after that.
Yeah, BOYS do some stupid stuff.
Now if I can just get mine to stop eating so much! He doesn't put on an ounce!!
He lost weight at his last check up!

That is funny!
I'm guessing the officer didn't cite anyone for making a false report. If he was in a particularly good mood, he probably would have told you he learned the direction of glass observation long before he went through training. He or his friends probably did the same thing when they were kids. Most decent cops learn about crime when they are young, either by direct observation or participation. Then when presented with occupation choices some choose crime others choose to fight crime. Like most jobs, you never get to do enough of the stuff that drew you into the profession in the first place.
Boys are crazy. Good thing we have girls to keep us in line.
My dad built us a killer fort with wooden window guards and everything. well us indians were shooting arrows into the fort and the cowboys were shooting bb guns back at us. Then someone got the bright idea of a flaming arrow ala the western movies.
The cowboys were sposed to put out the arrows but someone forgot to tell them. Needless we burned down not only our fort, but a couple hundred acres of my dads forest.
Local Foest Fire personel were told it was a brush fire gone bad.
Our asses howewver burned for quite awhile.
