What does boys will be boys mean? It never made much sense. You cant define a word with the word, one might yell and yell, but impotently. Its not like weuse the saying for anything else. Hammers will be hammers. Mice are mice. Nightmares were nightmares. But one might as well be yelling into the abyss for all the good itll do you. Boys will be boys, they keep on saying.
So, well, I came across a little news item, and frankly? It put me at ease. Here were some boys, three to be exact, and Im pretty sure they were being like boys. Pete Davidson went on Jimmy Fallon this week and they started their little chat off with a story about Alec Baldwin losing weight. Yes, two boys gossiping about the weight of another boy on national television. They cant help it! Theyre boys, and theyll be boys.
Here's a brief summary: Davidson said that Baldwin, who played Donald Trump during the dog days of the 2010s,was impressed by Davidsons physique when he took his shirt off and asked basically, How do you do it? Davidson didnt want to say something like be a young boy, not an older boy, and have a functioning metabolism so he advised Baldwin do 100 push-ups a day instead. Now, thats way too many push-ups for one day, maybe, but boys have been boys before, and theyre going to be boys now! Baldwin said, and Im paraphrasing here, Sounds good, roger that, and started doing those push-ups. He lost like 100 pounds Davidson said to Fallon.
Now, Baldwin was on a health kick already due to blood sugar at pre-diabetic levels, per one interview with his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, who also happened to have a wellness book out. I quietly watched what he ate, only mentally jotting down my secret wish list of what Id tell him if he asked, she told People last year.Regardless, Davidsons just exaggerating; boys just do that type of thing. They will, as ever, be boys, as Pete will be Pete and Jimmy, Jimmy.
