Boy or girl?

I'm sure that sometime in your life someone has asked if you LIKE being a girl or if you'd rather be a boy. When you were younger you might have said a boy in order to have strength dominance over your siblings or to be able to play with the boys at recess. But what is your answer now?
The truth is I just love being a girl. There are so many reasons such as girl talk, fashion, getting all dolled up, GNO's, enjoying being by a man's side, being caring and nurturing, etc etc.

When you do a little of this...and you're a boy....

Nobody cares! "Oh you are a boy, you should be good at that stuff. Yea, he's ok."

But as a girl you get back to the boat and you get "Wow, you are good! That was awesome for a girl!" I don't even mind that statement! "For a girl..." Yes we aren't as physically strong as boys and we have our own strengths and we embrace them!
So I like being a girl because I like being praised? Yep! just kidding just kidding...sorta :)
You can play tennis in flip flops against a boy and have them say after "I don't even care that I got beat by a girl now after seeing those toes!" Hey, us girls have a competitive edge in us also!
We get to REAP the benefits of chivalry. Lindy and I got to board and ski before everyone else. Thanks for being so nice to us! I know some people think that girls get away with murder with the turn of a sweet smile...but we really appreciate it!


We get taken on scooter rides and get to wear flowers in our hair while the men roll their sleeves up to be bad...or to not get a farmers tan....I dunno.

We get chucked high in pool basket toss parties!
And last but not least we get to do silly things like this and people just say "oh cute" or "Oh that's funny." Where as guys doing this might get "Oh REEEAL cool. That's immature." Who knows though. It probably depends on the crowd you are in.
I got a book this year for mother's day called "The remarkable soul of a woman". The title says it all before even getting into it. We'll delve into that another day. As for now....enjoy being a woman!

Awesome wakeboard pic's Heidi! Too bad it was so windy today that I didn't get to see you show off your skills today. Hopefully we will get to go another time. You and Lindy need to give me lessons!
