There's this one blogger who is expecting and just found out she's having a girl. She has two boys and all the comments are like:
Congrats! you're going to have so much pink and frilly fun!
and
you're going to paint your nails and go shopping . . .
and some day a boy will call your house and ask to speak to her - it will be so cute and
la di da . . .
Well, I hate to rain on anyone's parade. The dressing up like a doll is fun . . . and painting your nails is fun, but . . .
welcome to the technology age, because once they turn 13, you will buy her a cell phone.
No matter what you think now, you will.
Do you think any boy will call her on your home phone? Do you think any of her friends will have her home phone number. Do you think any of her friends will call and actually speak to her on her cell phone when they can silently and sneakily text each other who-knows-what stuff?
to be continued . . .
