Genders..

I loved the lecture today. My mom is a daycare provider so I get my share of stories and play time and dress up time with all the kids when I come home. I know for a fact I will pay more attention when I play and watch them play next time. I do know I've noticed several times the way it makes a form of communication for them though. A time I remember because it was the most recent would be over spring break. One of my favorite little boys, because I watch him in the summer and his mother is my boss, dressed up in a dress with all the other little girls. I asked him what he was doing and he said he was sissy. I could it was easy to tell he looked up to his sissy who was also dressed up in a dress. It's just funny to know that the different genders doesn't matter they look up to each other no matter what. A question I wanted to ask in class was the communication between different genders. I remember when I was little at recess the boys would play tractors and the girls weren't allowed. It's like the boys know their roles and we were suppose to go play barbies or house because that's what girls do. Watching kids understand gender roles is very interesting.
