Children

Thank God I have a son. Went to a party today and saw 10-year old girls all decked up. High heeled shoes, sexy (yes sexy) clothes. Some even had makeup on. And you could see the pressure - be prettier, be cooler. Talk like this, walk like that, accessorise correctly.

Most of the 10-year old boys looked like runts. Half chaddis, t-shirts. Some were coolly dressed, some didn't care. All were happy to run around being idiots. And right now, were paying no attention to the girls.

I don't know what to do with a girl! I can't braid her hair and put glitter. Or get latest fashion clothes and match and accessorise it. Boys wear pants. And t-shirts. And shoes. Yes his father yells at me if he's shoddily dressed, but he's around to make Kiaan look cool (and God bless, Kiaan makes cool easy today).

Thank God I have a boy.
