A few of you out there may have a teenage boy. I personally have a 14 year old boy and am constantly stunned (and puzzled) how his behavior contrasts that of his older sister.

Noah wouldn’t be caught dead cracking open a bottle of Coppertone and applying cream in front of actual people at the beach. How embarrassing would that be? MORE
