It's been a very hot week with temperatures upto 34.4 degrees C making doing anything rather a chore.
Terms can be hard to understand at times and people have sometimes asked about what ALB means and where it all fits in.
This is my easy to understand version.
ALB is the abbreviation for Adult Little Boy. You could say it's more or less the same thing as adult schoolboy but not as centred on Uniform and school rituals of various sorts.
Think of things this way first time around: He's a boy obviously and has a social life at home, around his friends and various things he is involved in like sports or cubs.
That's one side of his life.
Because he is a boy and is now say over four years, he is now old enough to attend school where apart from learning things (hopefully) he also has a life in school activities and play in the playground.
The fact he goes to school makes him a school boy but he's also a boy maybe a little boy too.
Taking this forward the adult little boy is an (legal) adult who feels he has much of that little boy in him engaging in similar interests.
An adult schoolboy is that same adult little boy who has an interest in his (past) school life.
He wears school uniform, may do some studying similar to what he did and some may attend recreated school type sessions where he is a pupil and person is playing a teacher/headmaster.
We alternate between the two sides because that makes us the whole person.
