Gender Matters

We had just gotten settled into our seats on the bus when D turned to me and asked, "Mom, are you a she?" 

Me: "Yes. Are you?"
D: "Yes."
Me: "How about baby brother?"
D: "A he." (addressing her father, sitting on the other side of the bus) "Papa, are you a he?"
Papa: "Quoi?"
(I help to clarify the question. Papa answers in the affirmative.)
D: "Mama, before I came out of your belly, you were just a woman and papa was just a man."

Food for thought, eh?
