What in the name of Huckleberry Finn is wrong with boys these days?
Mum and I are having constant one-sided debates on this topic. Is it some sort of genetic thing they've been inheriting since the prehistoric times which makes them constantly indecisive, or even just, frustrating to the female species? I know they get this problem with women too, oh believe me.
I can quite picture a Neanderthal couple beating each other with wooden clubs, having one of their daily 'lovers' quarrel' on who should be the one to start the fire for supper. Lady Neanderthal argues that she's the one who has to prepare for the food, cook it, then clean up after. Whereas Sir Neanderthal debates that he's the one who's been lifelong assigned to hunting their nightly feast since he's reached manhood at the age of 13; and that he's been tired after a long day. Lady Neanderthal then firmly states that if he doesn't start the fire, he's not getting any supper, and that she doesn't mind eating 'cause she's on some herbivore diet anyway. Lady Neanderthal wins.
For now.
It entirely depends on the individual. Hypocrisy.
So my problem is that, there's this boy. And I have no idea as to what the hell he expects in life. As indecisive as I assume him to be, consciously or subconsciously, he continues to build a barrier between our path of communication. It's been going on for months, I'm sorry if I still haven't let this matter drop just yet. As much as it vexes the both of us, I can't bear to live life unknowingly. All I'm asking for is the reassurance. Nothing more.
I'm getting tired now.
