Happy Birthday to my eldest son, who's 16 years old today! Scary thought indeed but also a strange time, in that he's becoming a young man now. I sort of wish in our culture we had more predomoinant 'rites of passage', from boyhood to manhood.
I guess in our culture, this consists of drinking with your mates, going to footie matches with your mates and all of those things that the male population as a collective of people, seem to do. Any of you men out there with other ideas for 'rites of passage' let me know please! :)

Happy Birthday! Just be safe and make it to manhood-- that's it! :)
Don't forget the rites of passage of girlfriends and such.
'Dan - that's what happens when I get cyberrrrrrrrrrrrage! But no, won't be doing that again in the near future ;)
@4D - Indeed, sad though as he wasn't brought up by a footie fan mum! I HATE FOOTIE although I'm becoming more open and understanding about its benefits to our yoof culture and indeed collective ways of being - If only every single protest attracted the likes of a Man U game! Sigh! ;)
@AJ - Yeah the girlfriend thing is still to come...apparently he never wants to get married cos girls take all of your money! Hmm I don't think so my little teenage rage, is my retort! x
