The missing rib....

Today I am wondering about the rib God removed from Adam to make Eve.
What was in that rib?
It must have been more than just a bone.
The differences between boys/men and girls/women are too numerous to count.
Boys mark territory. They pee in places that makes us think they are truly a part of the animal Kingdom. Sooo UNcivilized. For instance Flutter Nutter just filled up a squirt gun and sprayed his sister's bed ?!?! He just keeps getting my finger pointed to his bedroom. Much to his frustration, because he did after all say he was Sorry.
Girls they throw things. Things that can be picked back up and put away or swept up and trashed.
Boys (at least my boys) find blood and gore cool. The messier and more disgusting the bettter. Bodily noises are these guys equivalent to classical music and the symphony.
My boys are constantly in a rumble and bumble over their places in the home. They are constantly trying to be the alpha male in the home. Arms and legs always flying and piled up in the middle of the floor. They say they are wrestling. But whenever I sit down and turn on Animal Planet, I think I am watching home movies of my children.
So what was really in that rib? ?

He DID IT ! ! ? ? ! ! ? ? ! !

So I look out my large living room windows to the backyard. My jaw hits the floor and I can't believe what I see Flutter Nutter doing. He is literally climbing up the swing's chain and grabbing the monkey bar chain, so he can triumphantly shout, "I DID IT! I DID IT!" The shouts were truly more for his benefit and pleasure than anybody else's. He was alone in the backyard, working extremely hard to achieve his goal. Flutter Nutter doesn't really have much in the leg department. Last fall when he turned 4, he wore a size 4 shirt and 3T pants. He did eventually grow into 4Ts. But we do call him short legs for a reason.

I grabbed the camera and was able to capture the moment, which he was very pleased about.
