Heh. You said “Boner”.

Last night Matt and I suddenly remembered that 1. 13 year-old boys are hilarious and 2. the word "boner" is hysterical. After spending about an hour saying the word "boner" and laughing like hyenas (completely sober, I swear), we started elaborating on the formula.

"So, instead of saying 'you really turn me on', I should be like 'you give me a massive boner'?"

"Actually, you should refer to it in the third person. As MegaBoner."

That's the problem with only having sisters. When we hit puberty, boys started seeming both really mysterious and incredibly stupid. Their sense of humor seemed to involve talking about one's penis, but applying a sense of epic to the situation. So, if 13 year old girls had penises,  their locker room conversations would sound like:

"Hey, let's have a penis measuring contest."

Whereas 13 year old boys are like:

"Oh yeah! It's time for Boner Wars!"
