Gender is a choice, yet defined

3/22/09

We were having a conversation over dinner tonight. I told N. that he is a beautiful boy. B. was very upset. "Time out, time out, time out," she said. "First of all N. is a boy, not a girl, and he doesn't wear dresses."

So apparently beautiful is an adjective that only applies to dresses, and girls.

B. is also going to grow a peanut when she gets bigger. It is going to be a big peanut. She thinks N. has a cute little peanut, but hers is going to be bigger.
