Today, Valerie knew she had to wear the color blue to camp for the annual "color war" theme of the day. We discussed each piece of blue clothing she owns.
I suggested she wear her jeans. Hers happen to be blue jeans.
Boy, did I get an earful.
"Mom, jeans are boys clothes. Girls wear skirts and dresses!"
Oh, well, some girls wear jeans, right?
"Mom, girls aren't supposed to wear jeans even though some do."
Oh, okay. So, do you know any boys who wear skirts and dresses?
"Mom, of course boys don't wear skirts and dresses. Those are GIRL clothes!"
Thanks for the distinction, honey.
