Conversations with Feminist Moms and the 3yr Olds Who Love Them
-
Me (to my daughter, right after she wakes from her nap):
I am the luckiest mama in the world to be the mama of such a wonderful daughter.
-
Her:
Because you wished and wished and I was a girl...
-
Me:
That's true! Even before you were growing inside of me, I knew you were going to be a girl.
-
Her:
And I am!
-
Me:
But if you ever decide you're a boy, that's good too.
-
Her:
Boys are STINKY!!!!!!!!!
-
Me:
Well, I'm just saying...
-
Her:
[long pause] I have fur on my arms.
-
Me:
I have hair on my arms too...
-
Her:
You... have hair... on your ARMPITS!!!!!!!!!!
