Oh so true Alex... I was the pregnant lady... now I watch by happily as my kids destroy Toys R Us. If they are occupied and not bothering me, then it's all good, right?

;-)

My 6 year old son loves pink. I have to catch myself almost everytime to not say but boys can't like pink. It's like I was brain washed or something!

Someone once said to me, "Pink is a legitimate colour."

:-)

 

My son likes pink too! It IS a nice color after all.

I like to laugh at the obvious first timers. Yeah, their kids will do something worse!

 

In Victorian times, it was switched. Boys wore pink and girls wore blue.

 

My daughter's stroller is navy blue and red. So is the double stroller we're about to buy (for the TWO GIRLS!).

About a month ago, a horrified, eye rolling pregnant couple watched my daughter fling herself onto the floor at Pottery Barn and throw a colossal screaming tantrum. I just laughed (maniacally) to myself and thought, "just wait...just you wait!"

 

Often I think that the reason I am not having kids is because I know too much about how it really is to have kids. If people didn't delude themselves into thinking that their children will always be cute, well-behaved, sweet angels, the human race could die out! So good for that couple and their obliviousness. And then good luck to them.

As for the employee, you know how I feel about that. It completely amazes me how much value society injects into pink and blue. Scary.

 

I am not a pink girl. I don't like pink, I rarely wear pink, and the only reason I avoided nasty employees pushing pink stuff at me is because I have boys. My favorite color is blue, my OS also favors blue. My YS, who knows, he seems pretty flexible so far (probably because he's never had the blue his brother keeps for himself).
I don't think I've ever told my sons that pink is for girls, but I think someone ought to tell me that pink is a legitimate color, maybe I'd give it a chance!
On the other hand, my sons are always perfectly behaved and have never, ever raised eyebrows with their tantrums or screaming (ROTFL).

 

ahhh... those days of dreaming in babies r us...

;)

 

Oh My God! The laugh I needed today!

 

Your kids are great. Perrin seemed very interested in a pair of pink flowered boots when we went shopping. Too bad they didn't come in his size and he got brown.
