Sam-ism #6

December 11, 2012 (age 5)

Advanced gender concepts with Sam:

Me grumbling about other drivers in the front seat, him listening intently from his car seat.

"But how do you know it was a 'she' driving that car, mom?"

"I guess I don't, really. It looked like a she, but the only real way to know if someone's a she or a he is to ask them."

"Why?"

"Well, because someone could look like a she to me, but actually be a he. Or the other way around."

...thoughtful silence from the back seat, then he says, "Or some people could look like a she *and* a he, but really be neither. Not a he or a she, just a person."
