The Difference Between Men and Women

A few months back I was amused by a conversation between Alli (then 4) and TJ (3) that showed a difference in the way a male and a female handle things even at such a young age...

The conversation was about some over aggressive geese ("ducks") that we encountered at a roadside park we had stopped to have lunch at. Needless to say, we ended up doing lunch in the car instead. Much later while thinking about it, Alli started...

A: Those ducks were mean, like when they bit my arm and made a blood spot.

TJ: We should run over them.

Alli, being a typical girl, just wanted to express her feelings and talk about how it scared her.
TJ, being a typical boy, offered a rash solution.

I had to laugh.
