Jocelyn makes an observation this morning while I am standing next to her dad getting ready for work.
"Daddy is bigger than Mommy." We're the same height, so I know she talking about his shoulders being broader than mine.
I say, "Yes, boys are usually more wide across than girls are."
She asks me, "Then what are girls more than boys?"
I think for a second, and say that girls are prettier than boys.
"Girls are greedier?" she asks.
Daddy says, "Yes, they are, honey".
And we have a good laugh. Freudian slip by a three year old?
{No, I am not damaging her self-worth or psyche by not degrading my husband for making a joke at the expense of women. And yes, I could have sat around and thought of something else besides focusing on physical appearance of women, but it was just a simple moment. I hate that I even have to point this out, but I know somebody will think it.}
