Actual Convo About Gender With My 4 Year Old At Dinner:
Landon: “Dadda, I wanna be a girl.”
: “But you’re a boy buddy.”
Landon: “Why am I a boy? I wanna be a girl.”
: “Because God made you a boy.”
Landon: “Why did God make me a boy?”
: “Because he knows better than all of us and knew you would make the BEST boy ever!”
Landon: “But why can’t I be a girl.”
: *Holding up a plate*.
“What is this?”
Landon: “A Plate.”
: “Is it a cup?”
Landon: “No”
: “What would happen if I try to make it a cup?”
Landon: *Stares Blankly*
: *Pouring his ice water onto the plate*. There you go buddy…..drink your water.
Landon: “Starts crying hysterically*
“Dadda why you do that! That’s not right!”
: “Exactly buddy.
A cup is a cup.
And a plate is a plate.
A cup has one purpose,
so does the plates.
A boy is a boy, and a girl is a girl.
A boy is not a girl.”
Landon: *Repeating methodically*
“A cup is a cup and a plate is plate.
A boy is a boy and a girl is a girl.”
: “That’s exactly right bud.”
