“It's one thing to raise three children. It's another thing altogether to raise three boys. There is a certain unique dynamic (or dynamite!) that boys bring to a household. The presence of even one girl in the home is at least some measure of comfort to a mom. There is always the hope that having one other female with which to identify might bring a calming influence on family life. But peace and quiet are usually the first of many casualties associated with an all-boy family. Mom is greatly outnumbered from the start, and she must possess the patience of Job, the wisdom of Solomon, and the tenacity of General Patton if she is to survive the ordeal.” — Jeff Kinley
