That's My Girl!

So, this morning Ros is playing with her magnetic dress up prince and princess, and decides to create a lovely ensemble for the prince with one of the princess' skirts, and a crown as a tank top. Which led to this exchange...

Ros: Look, mommy!
Me: Awesome. In my opinion, more boys should wear skirts.
Ros: You only think that because you love Take That.


I don't know where she gets these ideas.



Then, on the drive home from my mom's, the Sweetie stuck on a CD of pop songs from French girl singers from the '60s, and the song Laisse tomber les filles came on.

Ros: What's this song about?
Me: The girl is telling a boy to stop dating so many girls.
Ros: Oh. And to start dating boys?
Me and the Sweetie: ::try desperately not to laugh::

Clearly, she's turning out okay.

Oooh, I do like that picture of Howard *g* And yes, Ros is clearly turning out excellently - Take That do I think, in all seriousness, make a great example of how men can be comfortable playing with gender roles and also massively famous/successful/hordes of screaming fans etc!

I love Howard in the nurse's outfit. It's all part of what makes him so fascinating, this butch-looking guy who's all for wearing skirts, gets giggly when talking about playing gay clubs, and apparently gets weepy more than any of them.

Take That are awesome role models when it comes to gender roles. I'm really hoping Ros continues to like them and I can take her to their next tour. (I'm already scoping out where to get kid-sized ear defenders.)
