COLLECTIVE NOUN FOR BOYS?

There were two comments about my blog on boys pertaining to what the collective noun for them might be...one said it was definitely a "blush of boys". A "bravado of boys" was suggested by Deb. Whatever fits the situation works.

One of my all time favorite collective nouns is "an exaultation of larks". I once had a book by that title, but it went out the door at some point, never to return. I have an African cookbook, spiral bound, out there someplace too. Alas!

Most often I would refer to teen age boys as a "boisterousness of boys", but in this case, they were very well-behaved and invitied to return.

There was also a blog comment from Mark V about my kolache comments...and Terry Oglesby thinks I'm too kind :) I love getting comments. They are fun to read. I wish for more of them.
