Upon returning home from work today I found the house still standing, Boopie did not blow it up, burn it down, or break anything that IÂ’m aware of yet. However, I did learn two pieces of information about my eldest.

First is that he is much like my sister in his inability to do something mischievously with out giving out tell tale signals. You know like getting into something he shouldnÂ’t have or playing with something that heÂ’s been told he shouldnÂ’t. Now, to be fair I did spend years learning how to investigate crimes. IÂ’m not saying IÂ’m an expert crime scene investigator like Gill Grissom, detective like Adrian Monk or even some actual investigative person, but I know what to look for and a lot of tricks of the trade. Unfortunately Boopie barely tries to cover his tracks.

Secondly I learned that my son is not gay. There was some speculation a couple of years ago, but after today IÂ’m pretty sure we can say he likes the girls.

How do I know this? During some thorough house cleaning I decided to throw out all of my old Playboy magazines that IÂ’ve kept hidden for years. I used to have a subscription, and wouldnÂ’t throw them away. Before anyone says anything, yes I looked at the pictures. Yet I also read the articles. They really did have some good writers. I let my subscription lapse 7 years ago and havenÂ’t read one since, so I canÂ’t say what they are like today.

I placed about 6 years worth of magazines into trash bags, and set them to be tossed with the trash on Wednesday. When I got home today one of the bags was untied and the nicely arranged magazines were no longer nicely arranged. They were in the house, so it had to be him. Sure he tried to put the bag back into the same position I left it in, but he wasnÂ’t remotely successful.

Now I thought about calling him out on this, but then I decided not to. Hell, by the time I was his age I had a nice collection of nudie mags my friendÂ’s would steal from their fatherÂ’s collection. Seriously, whatÂ’s the worst thatÂ’s going to happen?
