Why boys are different.

Usually Xander and the girls play so well together that I wouldn't say that certain things they do are "boy" or "girl" things. But sometimes, it is clear that Xander is definitely a boy. Yesterday, for instance, he had a really bad stuffy nose. He sounded really congested and was having a hard time breathing. He was telling me about how he wasn't feeling well and then said, "And when I brushed my teeth, I didn't know it, but there was snot in my mouth, and I saw it when I spit it out!" Ewwwww!!! I think I did actually say "Ewwww" out loud. He then went on, "well, it is kind of cool if you are a boy.....because it is DNA. I had my actual real DNA right there. And nobody else's DNA would look like that. I bet nobody else's snot looks like mine either. There's would be maybe more green, or black, or maybe a different shape or size. It's sort of cool. And gross."

Ewwww!! I can't see Grace and Greta having that conversation with me. Because they would just think it was gross. And that's all. Just gross for them. Not gross and cool.
