estrogen vs testosterone

i was sittin' on the studio floor surrounded by
bone sighs, packin' up an order. i was just
getting my second wind and felt pretty good.
apparantly, i didn't look so good as yo yo walks
up to me. normally there's like a five foot
difference in our height....but when i'm sittin'
on the floor and he's standin' over me....oh my!

he reached down that big extend-an-arm of his
and pats my head. 'you doin' okay, mom? you stressed?
tired?'

hmmmm.......i had really thought i was good.

well, i say.......i'm a little tired, and well, my
period's late. maybe that's what you hear. maybe
i seem weird because of that. it must be because....

and then i leap into this crazed werewolf thing and
spread my arms out like claws and growl and shout out
MY HORMONES MUST BE RAGING!

oh man. i'm laughin' just typing this. i took him totally
by surprise and he kinda leapt back with his eyebrows
raised real high.

i fell over on the floor laughing!
got him!
the estrogen scared him!

he and zakk head out. i'm still workin' on that order
when i hear this real loud BOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!

it was a boom you take seriously.
i ran right out the studio door and saw the boys
right away. and boy, did they look caught.

YOU GUYS OKAY?! WHAT WAS THAT?!

well, i never did find out.
before i could get back to where they were, i see
yo do a hand off to zakk and zakk disappears into
the shed.

hmmmmmmm.....
okay. what's up. what on earth are you doin'?!!!

they're not tellin'.
i insist. i get all motherly strict and insist.

zakk pats my shoulders, turns me back to the studio
and walks me back.

'mom,if you must know, we were tryin' to photograph
some fire. it just suprised us. it's fine. go back
to work.'

oh yeah?
great!

i have a feelin' i won't know for a few years what they
were doin'....

and i grinned goin' back in.
their testosterone scared me.

we were even.
