EQUAL
BUT NOT THE SAME
"Equal" is not always synonymous
with "the same." Men and women are created equal. But, boys and girls are not
born the same.
1. You throw a little girl a ball, and it
will hit her in the nose.You throw a little boy a ball, and he will try to catch it. Then
it will hit him in the nose.
2. You dress your little girl in her Easter
Sunday best, and she'll look just as pretty when you finally make it to church an hour
later. You dress a boy in his Easter Sunday best, and he'll somehow find every mud puddle
from your home to the church, even if you're driving there.
3. Boys' rooms are usually messy. Girls'
rooms are usually messy, except it's a good smelling mess.
4. A baby girl will pick up a stick and
look in wonderment at what nature has made. A baby boy will pick up a stick and turn it
into a gun.
5. When girls play with Barbie and Ken
dolls, they like to dress them up and play house with them. When boys play with Barbie and
Ken dolls, they like to tear off their appendages.
6. Boys couldn't care less if their hair is
unruly. If their bangs got cut a quarter-inch too short, girls would rather lock
themselves in their room for two weeks than be seen in public.
7. Baby girls find mommy's makeup and
almost instinctively start painting their face. Baby boys find mommy's makeup and almost
instinctively start painting the walls.
8. If a girl accidentally burps, she will
be embarrassed. If a boy accidentally burps, he will follow it with a dozen fake belches.
9. Boys grow their fingernails long because
because they're too lazy to cut them. Girls grow their fingernails long - not because they
look nice - but because they can dig them into a boys arm.
10. Girls are attracted to boys, even at an
early age. At an early age, boys are attracted to dirt.
11. By the age of 6, boys will stop giving
their dad kisses. By the age of 6, girls will stop giving their dad kisses unless he
bribes them with candy.
12. Most baby girls talk before boys do.
Before boys talk, they learn how to make machine-gun noises.
13. Girls will cry if someone dies in a
movie. Boys will cry if you turn off the VCR after they've watched "Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles" movie three times in a row.
14. Girls turn into women. Boys turn into
bigger boys.
