An interesting thing happened last night. So interesting in fact, that I had to share this revelation straight away with all of you! So listen up ladies, and write this one down to get the full effect.

All Men Are Boys At Heart.
(Some are actually toddlers, but we’ll leave that topic for a rainy day!)

Case in point, the movies last night.

At one end, my date & I, caramel popcorn in tow, some mentos, 2 bottles of water and a white chocolate kitkat – don’t ask.

At the other end, my Ex (yes, it ended VERY badly), the faux-blonde Barbie giggling by his side, one obvious boob job, skinny jeans, passé hoop earrings and some nachos. Obviously a blind date on his part!

It was too late to turn around now … Let the games begin I thought.

Now standing face-to-face, awkward introductions done, excruciating silence in full swing, when Barbie Doll “accidentally” (NOT) knocks over my popcorn. Both Boys lunge down to rescue it for me and a ridiculous tug of war ensues. Both offer to get me another, ready to wrestle over the task. Playground antics are in full swing when surprise surprise, Blondie offers to get one herself as she is going to get some ice cream.

"Honey," she asks my ex sweetly, "do you want a vanilla cornetto?" "Oh no honey, he doesn’t like vanilla ice cream," I say with a wink. "Chocolate Chip, one scoop, no cone."

I walk away with a definite smile on my face as another epiphany hit me … boys will boys, true … but girls will definitely be girls too ;)
