What's the Difference in Boys and Girls

Saturday, Michael had 2 friends over to play!
I got so tickled watching as the boys wrestled, punched, hit, threw balls, ran, and laughed the entire time. It reminded me of a poem I wrote one night after tucking the girls and Michael in bed.

What's The Difference Between Little Boys and Little Girls I Wondered?

Little boys go to sleep with helicopters and golfballs,

Little girls go to sleep with stuffed animals and dolls.

Little boys make noises like and animals and cars when they play,

Little girls hum and sing.

Little girls talk.

Little boys build,

Little girls write and color.

Little boys put both hands in the dirt,

Little girls use one finger.

Little boys are always dirty,

Little girls are always washing.

Little boys go with the flow,

Little girls set the agenda.

Little boys are just plain,

Little girls are so complex.

Little boys have cute haircuts and necks,

Little girls have ponytails and bows.

Little boys have lots of jeans,

Little girls have lots of outfits.

Little boys have lots of matchbox cars,

Little boys would rather play outside,

While little girls are inside dressing up for parties.

There are lots of differences between little boys and girls,

but there are some things that are all the same...

The all laugh and giggle.

They all love books and bubbles.

The all move to music when they hear it.

They all cry when their feelings are hurt.

They all love peek-a-boo, even when it's hide and seek style.

They are all very busy,

and

they all have a momma who loves them very much

NO MATTER WHAT THEIR DIFFERENCES.
