Passing it on

I always tell my kids (whom I work with, not my own kids, because they're unborn) that things do not have a gender, like people or animals. Examples -

Those are girl socks! (Socks aren't boys or girls, they're just socks.)

I want some girl toys. (So boy's can't play with pots and pans? They can't play with hula hoops?)

If you read that book about princesses then you're a girl. (This last one came from an older boy who loves the princess books... and sheets... and pictures... and coloring... and toys... and socks.)


Here is something I came across that I just had to pass on.
