It's a Girl Thang

I don't usually blog about other people's kids, but I couldn't resist passing along two jewels from a friend's little girl (and yes, I warned/asked her mom in advance! And if I got the wording wrong, it's my sketchy memory.).

Several of the kiddos were at a bowling birthday party yesterday, one of their favorite birthday activities (Bud was so proud to knock down all 10 pins, but that's a "Bud thang."). When the little girl walked in and saw the special bowling shoes she was supposed to wear, she asked, "Are those girls' shoes?"

Apparently, the girl-boy distinction is very important to her. As are clothes! Recently, her mom told me, meeting a new little friend and her brother, the little girl noted and approved of the other little girl's outfit. Looking at the little boy, she said, "I don't like boy things."

Mercy, it's starting already!
