Oh Boy!

.
There are certain rites of passage every boy must go through before they can officially declare themselves a man.
.
... their first shave ...
.
... their first kiss ...
.
... their first time getting their arm trapped between the closing bus doors ...
(or was that just Mr Jelly?)
.
And there are certain things a boy must go through before he can call himself a
proper boy.
.
.
From this ...
.
.
To this ...
.
..
And all it took was one tree stump at school.

awww, hope he's okay - my son tripped up years ago on the first day of the school holiday and gashed his head rather badly so we spent the usual two hours in A & E, by which time son was very getting bored as he said
"how long is it going to be before I get my head seen to?" ........
and everyone who knows him will say we are still waiting!

Those are proper boy knees - in my experience girl knees can look slightly similar, except they like to adorn them with plasters - boys prefer to show how maimed they are!

Oooouch! Busy son No 1 was initiated into boyhood, with a stab in the eye with a pencil from some vindictive child. Followed a couple of weeks later by mouth meeting outside bench at school. Resulting in very big scar! he's 18 and handsome now!
