Boys to Men

When do boys become men?

How do boys become men?

I've got the questions but I could some help on the answers... and I'm profoundly interested because I am responsible for helping 2 boys become men.

But I think one of the rites of passage along the way has to do with haircuts.... the summer buzz. So on our recent family vacation to Florida I coaxed my wife into letting her babies become boys. And with a $10 pair of clippers we initiated them into boydom with their first summer buzz... a close #2 shave.... and wala... the journey to manhood has begun.

Are their any rites of passage for the boys-to-men journey that you have experienced growing up or will experience with your boys? I'm all ears.
