Oh, let me raise a glass to the joys of raising sons of varying ages … and while we’re at it, raise one with me.
*clink*
This morning, I was trying desperately to convince my three-year-old to put on his underwear UNDER his clothing when he turned to me and said, “No thanks, mummy … I’m free balling today.”
What, what, what?
Free balling?
Well, you can imagine my surprise, then shock and horror as I realised what he meant.
Free balling?
As in going commando?
I’m still in shock that my precious little boy uttered these words and once I picked myself up off the ground, feigned my ignorance and told him that we really should wear underwear … all … the … time, I silently cursed his brothers.
Oh yes, the joys of raising sons of varying ages indeed!
I wonder if this sort of thing happens in the Duggar household?

That is just hilarious! I love the term free balling!!!
It’s official. ‘Going Commando’ is out in our household, to be replaced by the delightful ‘Free-balling’. I only wish I could have experienced the hilarity of hearing it uttered by a three year old.
Marvellous stuff…!
Haha, free balling!
I don’t know much about boys bits cos I don’t have any and Baby Boy isn’t exactly forthcoming, but I would of thought it was better to have them contained…
Wow – free balling. At this particular moment I am glad to have two girls — without balls — because talking about free balls is like, wow, way out of my comfort zone. Hats off to you Boy- moms.
Thanks for the laugh-out-loud! This was just too funny!
ROFL! Well, at least he let you know – unlike an acquaintance of mine who didn’t discover that her six year-old had decided underwear was optional until they were in the changing room at the store for him to try on some new trousers. She was so annoyed she wouldn’t let him try the trousers on, or buy him any either!
DS loves HIS underwear – currently he has some from M&S that say “Going Ape”.
LOL! Oh the joys
It is amazing the things they pick up!
Oh that is funny! And a bit shocking… This is so going to happen to me soon and I’m not going to know what to say…
Brothers! It is only the beginning. Funny though.
I’m looking for a t-shirt already!
Oh my goodness. Is it wrong for me to be laughing hysterically? Come on, it’s cute.
Brilliant! Don’t you just adore children?!
