A story my wife put on FB:
Cooperisms: Cooper in the car edition:
Cooper: Is this "All about That Bass?"
Me: Yes! singing along
Cooper: This is a girls song. This isn't a guys song. It is for girls.
Me: Um, you like this song! You were singing along to it yesterday! You talked about how much you like it!
Cooper: I don't want to listen to this. This is a girls song.
Me: I think songs are for everyone. This isn't just for girls.
Cooper: I want to listen to something else.
Me: Well, I want to listen to this. But what do you want to listen to? We can listen to that next.
Cooper: "Let It Go!"
Me: Right. Of course. head hits steering wheel
I love that we can't figure out our kid's sexist assumptions either. Superheroes are for girls; softballs are for boys but it's okay to play with them if you're a girl; strawberries are "girl food" (?).
ReplyDeleteYeah, Coop will fight with his 10 year old sister for the pink Wonder Woman cup at supper time.
ReplyDeleteOne of my kids is into My Little Pony. So, some days it's "Princess Mommy" and "Princess Daddy." Which is cool with me. The princes in that show are consorts and trophies, largely inconsequential. The princesses have the real power.
ReplyDeleteAside: On first glance at that photo, I looked at the carseat clasp on your boy's chest and wondered: "Oh, dude! An Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. carseat! Where can I get one of those?"
ReplyDeleteNo comments on the Red Lantern power ring. What kind of nerds are you people?
ReplyDeleteI assumed it was a ring pop.
ReplyDeleteThe FLGS gives out free power rings to the kids. He wanted red for rage. Appropriate for a toddler.
ReplyDeleteI fell great that I don't know either of those songs.
