It’s been a heavy weekend. The health care bill, Planned Parenthood and the Girl Scouts, the death of a close friend’s mother who was very dear to us.
So, some lighter fare, compliments of my three children, ages 10,9,6.
My son and daughters were discussing the differences between boys and girls, and decided to compile a list. Here it is.
Obviously we have some areas nailed down and work to do in others.
1. They think differently.
2. Girls grow up faster than boys.
3. Boys have shorter hair.
4. Girls can’t be Priests.
5. Boys can’t grow babies inside them.
6. Girls have to wear shirts.
7. Boys can’t wear dresses or skirts.
8. Boys can’t wear make-up.
9. Boys can’t wear pink.
10. Only girls can wear jewelry.
11. Girls can’t wear sports jerseys.
12. Girls can’t marry girls.
13. Boys can’t marry boys.

Here are a few things my girls aged 17, 15, 12 came up with:
1.they have different ways of communicating with each other
2.boys have different interests than girls
3.guys have larger eyebrows (one of my daughters has an eyebrow fetish!)
4.guys are less self conscious about their bodies
5.guys like to eat ALOT
6.girls tend to study harder in school
7.girls show their emotions more than guys
8.if girls are moody, they have pms; if boys are moody they are mysterious
My husband teaches college sociology, and one of his favorite exercises every year is to have each student to come up with a list of ten reasons why it is better to be the opposite sex. It’s always fun, funny, and a great conversation starter.
barboo77,
That’s a great idea. I’m going to try it at home!
I think teen girls would have a very very hard time doing that exercise Janet!
