[stylist] [stylist:Off topic] differances between sex of children (was DBG 7)

[LoriStay at aol.com]

As in all things, there is a range of physical and personality 
characteristics that we call male and female.   Some children exhibit marked gender 
preferences right from the beginning, such as wanting to play with dolls for 
girls.   Some boys might play with dolls, given a GI Joe, or a doll they can 
call by a boy's name, but put the same children in front of a construction 
site, and the boys gaze in rapt delight, and the girls turn away to play with 
their Polly Pockets.   I've got seven grand daughters and two grand sons, and 
believe me, there is a difference.   Maybe the difference isn't in what 
they look like, but it's there okay.
