Differences

[martymas]

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 accidently burps, she will be embarrassed. If a boy accidently 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.

Having one of each, all I can say is how true, how true! Had a College minor in Psych and "learned the difference between boys and girls was how they were raised" and I was soooo determined to raise them equally with trucks and dolls.....hooo boy was I wrong! They were different as night and day from the start!

"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"

I remember when Daughter begged Son to play Dolls with her (daughter 5, Son 3)

5 minutes later, Son hollers,

"And Godzilla EATS the Barbie, arrrrrgh, arrrrgh, arrrrghhhh!" *banging and thumping noises*

Daughter wails, (at the top of her lungs!)

"No, Aron, that's NOT how you play Barbies!"

She never asked him to play dolls again......

Thanks, Marty for bringing back so many memories!

... 14. Girls turn into women. Boys turn into bigger boys.

Ah-yup. And we're darned proud of it too. OK, sometimes we're a teensy bit embarrassed.

They've done studies and can't really explain away why boys do boyish things and girls do girly things no matter what. What's that? We're BORN different? Oh really?

it isnt surprising in the animal world

the male is the dominent species

tho some spiders have a dominent female

it has to be like that

or the species would die out

weather it be right or wrong

the are suttle difference between boys and girls

there are some amazing fact about girls and boys.

have you ever laughed at how a girls throws a ball?

their elbows are at a different angle than boys.

girl's center of gravity is below the waist.

boys center of gravity is above the waist.

girls tend to mature mentally and physically quicker than boys.

many more facts but can't remember them.

we are equal but not the same.

Another amazing thing...

Give a young boy a toy airplane, and even if he's NEVER, ever seen one before, he instinctively "flies" it in the air. Same with a toy car, they'll instantly drive it around.

Girls's....give them a toy doll and even if they've NEVER seen a baby yet, they'll instinctively start to "Mother" it.

One thing they both do tho...when they're tired of the doll or the plane...they'll throw it away, literally....phwoom...off it goes.
