Stand and Watch

Would someone explain to me please, if this bizarre phenomenon is only seen in my home, or if this is possibly something that the U.S. Government should invest a trillion dollars in to run some sort of multi-year, one hundred percent funded, research project to get a definitive answer? I can tell you for a fact that every male born in to this family, or any male who walks through the doors of my home is immediately struck with a desperate need that does not leave their bodies until the exit the home. So far, I have seen it in my grandchildren from the age where they can stand on their own tiny two feet to the time they can barely get out of their lift-a-seat recliners. Fortunately it has not been seen in any of the female members of the family.

I can be sitting quietly, watching something on television that no male on earth would express an interest in, and as soon as a male comes within viewing range of the television they are struck with the urge to stand and watch. There is no way to determine how long the stand and watch will remain. That secret is buried deep within the male brain, if there is such a place.

I have one lovely couch in my living room, one nice leather love seat that reclines and even has those nice little foot rests that rise up to make you comfortable. Included in the furniture are also two chairs, one sized for adults and one size for children. In the den there is a beautiful leather couch with matching chair and ottoman. There is even a coffee table should the leather furniture not be what is desired. Doesn

  1. This one is very cute. I can totally see it and I can sympathize. We didn’t have that converter box until just recently so the only TV we had was movies. I thought my husband was suffering from withdrawal. Boy is was peaceful in the house – not anymore. (D*@# box)

  2. How true that is. Very funny story. Love it. As I do all of them. I can watch a chick-flick, and the boys will just stand there and watch. No sitting down required. How funny you can turn this into a very cute story. Just love it!!!
