Welcome, friends to another Weekend with Chesterton!
Have you visited Sarah's blog, lovely home of the linky
for more Chesterton wit and wisdom?
Please do! I know you'll be most inspired.
There are soooooo, so many piece of wisdom which
can be gleaned from GCK, but this week,
I'd love to share
an expression I love and of which
I am reminded numerous times per day.
And if you have boys, you are too:
Boyhood is a most complex and incomprehensible thing.
Even when one has been through it, one does not understand what it was.
A man can never quite understand a boy, even when he has been the boy.--
G. K. Chesterton

But I suppose for some reason, for me,
these are the highlights that represent his verse!

Thanks to Shabby Blogs for the cute post dividers!
I don't know if men can understand being a boy, but I certainly never understood boyhood while raising my son. But they certainly are a fun mystery as your pictures point out. : )

Thanks Gail!
DeleteWho knew, right? They're a ton of fun and mischief, but I know none of us would trade it for anything!
Thanks for the visit, Gail...great to see you here
Boyhood is incomprehensible, indeed. I had two girls before I got my first boy and WHOA! I was in for a surprise! ;) A delightful surprise, of course, if I can only stop holding my breath as he tries to defy natural law on a regular basis...
ReplyDeleteI loved your photos! Your boys are precious! (but don't tell them I said so) :)
Sarah!
DeleteYes! I love "incomprehensible!" Great description!!
And defying natural laws....well said!
Thanks for the visit, friend!
Chris,
ReplyDeleteI love the photos! I've got some of Chesterton's writings. I feel inspired to read them now I've read your post. Thank you!
Boys are awesome :)! My son absolutely cracks me up! I love the Civil War Halloween costumes. Your boys always look so happy! It is making me cold seeing your son jump into that lake...
ReplyDeleteThe photos were a great illustration of Chesterton's awesome quote. Thanks Chris! Your boys look like they have such darling personalities!
ReplyDeleteSue, Candace and Rox,
