Monkeyboy is on a gymnastic team with a bunch of teenage boys who display countless examples of how not to be a man. They tend to lose focus as hundreds of leotards go swirling past. Husband used their examples to discuss with monkeyboy that the girls aren't just bits and parts but that each of them is a person with feelings, hopes and desires. It is the totality of the person that makes them beautiful, not just what you see on the outside. When you look at a person from this perspective, whether she is externally pretty or not she will radiate beauty in a much greater way. Monkeyboy agreed and said, "Yeah, mama is pretty. I see her beauty shining through every day."
I guess that's why the little guy can't seem to stop kissing me.
