Little boy trapped inside

According to my observation, I think every grown up man does have the desire to behave like a little boy whenever chance presents itself. Whenever it is possible to do some mischievous actions (for example, practical jokes), men are like, "oh yeah, baby, show time". Or if talking about the possiblity of playing firecrackers to blow up the fish in the pond or the dog in the garden, men would participate without slightest hesitation. Another type of little-boy hobbies is to catch whatever that moves, such as fishes in the stream, birds in the trees, or dragon flies stopping on the tip of grass. (Um, stray dogs are not challenging little boys would leave them for girls to bully, angry wild hyena would be ok). Regardless the age, little boy is trapped inside every man. My dad and XiaoHo are the living proof of my theory. My dad made the bow and arrows for XiaoHo, who practises home-grown archery whenever possible. Whenever these 2 meet, the conversation is all about how to make a better arrows. Sigh...

When my mom and I went hiking, we walked past some middle age men overlooking the beautiful stream. The water was crystal clear that you can see fishes, which these men were looking at. I explained my theory that men likes to bully/catch/disturb anything that moves in an unfamiliar envrionment, my mom replied "They like to chase women more".
