"They're boys, that's what boys do"

My sister in Jordan decided to take the family suburban to pick up someone from the aiport as opposed to her own small car. She comes back to discover her car to be slightly damaged as if it was taken for a joyride during her absence. The most likely explanation and what almost certainly noone doubts happened is that my 16 yr old cousin who lives in the adjacent apartment got a hold of the spare key kept by my aunt.

So when my sister called my dad to report what happened he yelled at her for driving the Suburban around, something she's not supposed especially not from irbid to amman. Ummmm what about her stolen crashed car?..."well they're boys, that's what boys do!"

WHAT-EVER!

Not cool. She should kick him. In the shins. Hard.

Then say that she's a girl and a girl would never do that.

Hamza, trust me the grandfather has no car in his youth...or ever!

His, parents ok but my dad is the boy's uncle. It's not that he was defending him as much as he was just stating it as an inevitable fact
