Boys to Men...or is it, Boys in Men

We have a roach problem in our home and tonight was no exception. A roach was crawling about on our car causing the boys to be feeling rather jittery and afraid that the roach would approach them. I had already gotten rid of the roach and told them that the roach was gone and would not bother them but they were not convinced. After several promptings, thinking that they were already over their fear, I heard Ivan saying :

"We are "men", we are not afraid of anything!!!"

...and in the very next breathe, with a great big shiver :

""Aaaaahh!!! I am so afraid!!!"

Well, that's my dear, little "man" alright...it takes a "man" to admit (and loudly too...;p) that they are afraid...
