boy, n. -a noise with dirt on it
I read this not to long ago and immediately felt the profound truth in this statement. Anyone who has a boy, has had the opportunity to love a boy, or has been touched by the love a boy can give understands that this is the very essence of them. If you look close you can see H.'s lips moving as he hums a little engine noise to himself! He can't touch the pedals, but that doesn't slow him down. His little heart is flying along a dirt road having adventures that I haven't yet fathomed.
