The Kids Are All Right

This was lovingly stolen from a friend's fb status.
Overheard on my flight last night...

Woman: Elizabeth, do you want a baby brother or a baby sister?
Elizabeth: (silence)
Woman: Well?
Elizabeth: (sigh) I just want some big girl panties, OK?
Woman: What if it is a baby brother?
Elizaebth: I'll play with him.
Woman: You will?
Elizabeth: Yes. I'll share my baby dolls with him.
Woman: OH, NO...you can't do that. Little boys can't play with baby dolls.
Elizabeth: (long pause) HE WON'T HAVE ANY HANDS?!!?!??!?!

Thank you, Elizabeth, for being young and clueless about stereotypes - and having way more sense than your travel companion.

And thank you, Leese, for sharing.
