    Why do boys like to get dirty? It's a mystery to so many people! Sisters and mothers and neighborhood girls scoff at the immaturity and Neanderthal nature of the activity in which boys partake in immersing themselves in filth. Growing up there is some kind of fascination with grime and dust and sweat and most of all mud. Almost every boy grew up with a sand box where he could at least get somewhat dirty.
