Standing up for boys!!!

One more of those “moments” with Nikita why I wish I did not have to work …. at least till she goes to college. I offered to drop Nikita at school today. She had picked up two lovely hydrangia flowers for her teacher – Mrs. Smith. In the car, to tease her, I asked if it was for her boyfriend. πŸ™‚
Ever indignant, she shot back “No. It is for my teacher. Besides, boys give flowers to girls, not the other way round”. I duly noted that nowhere did she refute that she did not have a boyfriend. So, I decided to take the high road and said “That is an unfair rule. Boys and girls are the same.”
For a moment, I thought I had the upper hand of the exchange till she fired back – “Do you even know how girls go to the bathroom?”
I could not help laughing out loud. So, my nine year old daughter thinks that boys should give flowers to girls because they get to stand up when they pee!!!

WHATEVER!!! πŸ™‚

Had fun!!

5 miles in the morning at 9:06 min/mile in the gentle slopes of Milton. Forgot my cap today. I was profusely sweating from my head by the second mile. I am not a pretty sight to begin with. Sweating did not exactly help me there either πŸ™‚ But I had fun this morning. Hope you did too!
