it was camping day today and when the children checked out the cool bear cub our room, i was reminded of the different approaches that boys and girls each have to life. as the girls went up to it, they gently petted it and commented, ‘it’s so soft!’ as the boys approached it, they all bent their heads down to look under its legs and asked, ‘does it have a penis?’ and herein lies the difference –
