If you’re not convinced that boys are different from girls come play at my house…..
Basil: (dressed as a knight with a pot lid shield and grandpa made wooden sword, rounding the corner into the kitchen) Come on J, let’s go fight the dragon!!
Juliana: (following her brother, dressed almost exactly the same only with a smaller sword and lid) No, let’s just go talk to him.
Gentle banter ensues regarding the intended nature of the dragon encounter.

That is classic! Liam met a little girl at the park.. 6 ish – and as they climbed up the slide together she said, “Liam, tell me about yourself.” Her twin brother put Liam in a choke hold minutes later.

That is so awesome! How men are so ready to go off and fight the dragons and the women want to find a way to nurture, to keep the peace. It’s so cool.

It will be interesting to see how the process will change when Simeon gets into the mix on a greater level.

you would James….:)
I’m sure Susan could whip up a savory dragon stew, use the scales for 10 different things, the tail spikes for garden fence posts, the eyeballs for decorative table pieces, and the feet for milking benches!

Interesting conversation! Reminded me on such distinct differences between the two genders! :-)
