Patricia Heaton, star of ABC's "The Middle," sat down with momlogic to talk about living with her four sons ... and what she'd do if any of them started dating a "cougar."

ML: What's it like to live with four boys?

Patricia Heaton: It's actually really great to be the only woman in the house! Boys are just so loving. They're still really huggy ... not my 16-year-old so much, but the 12-year-old, 13-year-old, and 15-year-old are really affectionate. They just still have a lot of boy energy ... There's constant motion and movement and sound coming from them just spontaneously. They're a little bit smelly!

ML: What if your son wanted to date a cougar?

PH: They're so not there yet ... I can't even go there! I'll be so happy if someone finds them attractive. [laughs] It sounds terrible! They're adorable, by the way. They're a real catch! But they're boys ... and guys are just guys. It's amazing actually that any guy can get somebody to marry them, isn't it?
